Summary

Kuguno's big fireworks close the Hida Togenkyo Kuguno summer festival in Takayama City, Gifu on August 11, 2026 — about 500 shells over 15 minutes from 8:00 pm, their echoes rolling off the surrounding mountains. New for 2026: a crowd-designed heart firework and 'tanzaku' shells carrying children's written wishes.

Overview

Kuguno Dai-Hanabi launches from the Kuguno branch office parking lot in Takayama City on August 11, 2026, from 8:00 pm for 15 minutes — a short program of about 500 shells built around a giant starmine, with an expected crowd of 7,000-10,000. The mountain-ringed valley sends the booming echo back down to the audience. For 2026, a heart-shaped firework designed through a public call and 'tanzaku hanabi' — shells carrying children's written wishes — join the program. From 4:00 to 10:30 pm the town center becomes a pedestrian zone with local chamber stalls and food trucks, and Hida-Fukuno Station is five minutes on foot; nearby paid parking holds 200 cars at 1,000 yen each.
