Nagahama Kita-Biwako Grand Fireworks Festival "Yogo no Jin"

Summary

Lake Yogo, calm enough to be nicknamed the 'mirror lake,' hosts a single 25-minute show on October 16 from 19:30. Music-synced star mines and low water-level shells reflect on the still surface, so every burst appears twice, while the surrounding mountains bounce the launch booms back. Seating is fully paid (S 6,000 yen, A 4,000 yen) and deliberately compact, which keeps everyone close to the action. There is no parking nearby; the walk from Yogo Station takes about 15 minutes.

Overview

Yoigo-no-Jin closes out autumn in the Kita-Biwako area. The venue is Yogo Lake Green Park, in front of the visitor center, and the show runs about 25 minutes from 19:30 - short, but densely programmed. For the reflection effect that defines this event, aim for seats on the lakeside. Stormy weather means cancellation with no announced fallback date, so check the official site before leaving. Tickets are sold online through Webket: S seats at 6,000 yen (only 15, already sold out) and A seats at 4,000 yen (300), with QR-code entry and no changes or refunds after purchase. By rail, it is a 15-minute walk from Yogo Station on the Happi Line Fukui, reached via Maibara or Tsuruga. October mountain nights run cold, so bring warm layers; pairing the show with a hot-spring stay in Nagahama or Maibara makes for an easier itinerary.
