Summary

Kaga Onsenkyo Noryo Hanabi Matsuri in Katayamazu Onsen sets off about 200 fireworks over Shibayamagata lagoon every night from August 1 to 21, 2026, between 9:00 and 9:10 pm. Facing the hot-spring town, the venue lets you watch from the lakeside promenade, lake-view guest rooms, or — for a fee — a fireworks kayak on the water. A carnival with food stalls runs in Yunomoto Park during the period, and the season draws some 100,000 visitors in total.

Overview

The show runs for three summer weeks, which makes it one of the most flexible fireworks events to plan around: the lagoon lights up nightly at 9 pm for roughly ten minutes. Because the launch site sits directly in front of Katayamazu Onsen, the distance between launch and viewer is short, and the water reflects every burst. Rooms with a lake view let you watch without going outside, and the paid fireworks kayak offers a rare on-the-water vantage. Access is about 10 minutes by taxi from JR Kaga-Onsen Station or 7 minutes from the Katayamazu IC; free parking holds roughly 100 cars near the Katayamazu district hall and Yu no Kuruwa plaza.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 1.5–2 hours before the 9:00 pm launch. Lakeside viewing spots fill early, and free parking is limited to about 100 spaces, so arrive before dark if you are driving.

Best viewing spots

The area around Ukido, the hall floating on the lagoon, is a recommended vantage with close-up views, and the lakeside promenade offers fine angles too. Lake-view guest rooms or the paid fireworks kayak give you options out on the water.

With kids

Keep children away from the water's edge and within sight at all times. The lakeside gets dark after sunset, so agree on a meeting point in case anyone wanders off.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are fine, but tripods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff first. Catching the bursts reflected on the lagoon makes for a striking shot.

Payment

Book paid seats and the fireworks kayak in advance. Stalls at the Yunomoto Park carnival mostly take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
