Summary

The Osakada Park Noryo Fireworks, in their 56th staging, send about 1,000 shells over Osakada Park and its pond in Shiojiri, Nagano, on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 7 to 8 p.m. Water starmine bursts open across the pond surface, and on request the team launches memorial fireworks with announcements of wedding anniversaries and birthdays. The venue is a 20-minute walk from JR Midoriko Station, and with no dedicated parking, arriving by train is the sensible route.

Overview

The display has run for more than half a century, and its water starmine program — bursts blooming right on the pond's surface — sets it apart from riverside shows. The 60-minute program from 7 p.m. carries about 1,000 shells, and visitors can request memorial fireworks with a personal announcement for a wedding anniversary, a birthday and the like; details go through the tourism association. The venue is a 20-minute walk from JR Midoriko Station. No dedicated parking is provided, so plan on public transport; the latest recorded turnout is about 2,500 (2025 fiscal year).

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to reach the park 30–45 minutes before the start (around 6:15–6:30 p.m.). With no dedicated parking, plan on arriving via JR Midoriko Station (a 20-minute walk). Spots around the pond fill in early, so settle on your viewing position ahead of time.

With kids

Viewing runs close to the pond — keep an eye on the kids. The water starmine hits hard on the ears, so pack protection; the memorial-firework announcements are fun for children to hear, too.

Photography tips

The water starmine shines when you frame it with its own reflection; a tripod and longer exposure work well, and composing along the pond's edge keeps the waterline in play.

Payment

Viewing is free with no paid seats. Stalls generally take cash — carry plenty of coins. With no dedicated parking, arriving by public transport is the default.
