Summary

Hisai's fireworks, staged on the JSDF Hisai Camp ground in Tsu City, Mie, launch about 5,000 shells on August 1, 2026 from 18:00 — the 65th edition, marking the 20th anniversary of Tsu's municipal merger. The theme is 'singable chorus fireworks', weaving music and projector effects into the show. Because the town-center ground puts the launch sites extremely close to spectators, the bursts open almost overhead — the display's defining trait. Around 60,000 attend; Hisai Station on the Kintetsu line is a five-minute walk away.

Overview

The 65th Hisai Fireworks run 18:00–20:30 on August 1, 2026 at the Ground Self-Defense Force Hisai Camp ground in Tsu City, with about 5,000 shells marking Tsu's 20th merger anniversary. The in-town staging means launch points sit very close to the viewing areas, so the big shells open overhead at full scale. The theme, 'singable chorus fireworks', pairs the display with music and projector scenes. Kintetsu Hisai Station is five minutes on foot. The venue has no parking of its own: the AEON Hisai temporary free lot is available, and a shuttle runs from the temporary lot to the venue for paid-seat holders. With the finale at 20:30, the trip home is comparatively easy to plan.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

The show starts at 18:00, so aim to arrive around 17:00 — about an hour before. Being an in-town venue, the entrance areas and the nearest station gates both get crowded. A shuttle bus runs from the temporary lot for paid-seat holders.

Best viewing spots

The launch sites sit extremely close to the viewing ground, so the big bursts open almost overhead. You will be looking straight up, so a leisure sheet makes it more comfortable.

With kids

Although it is held on a sports ground, the launch sites are close and loud — ear protection (earmuffs) helps little ones. Crowds make separation easy, so set a meeting point in advance.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are welcome, but tripods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff first. The bursts open almost overhead, so a wide framing works best.

Payment

Buy paid seats in advance where possible, and carry plenty of small bills and coins for on-site purchases.
