長浜・北びわ湖大花火大会 「余呉の陣」

Summary

A late-season fireworks night on the northern shores of Lake Biwa in Nagahama, Shiga. Held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, the program titled 'Yogo no Jin' runs for about 25 minutes from 19:30 — short enough to fold into an autumn trip around the lake. Venue and parking details are scarce, so check the official website before setting out and plan to arrive by public transport. Bring a warm layer: October lakeside evenings get cold.

Overview

Most of Japan's big fireworks festivals finish by late August, which is exactly what makes this Nagahama event worth a detour: it lights up the northern end of Lake Biwa in mid-October. The show itself is compact — from 19:30 to 19:55, roughly 25 minutes — so it works well as the evening finale of a lakeside day trip, and the water surface doubles the bursts for photographers. Practical planning matters more than usual here: the exact launch site, viewing areas and parking situation are not published in our data, so confirm the latest details on the official website (kitabiwako.jp/fireworks) before traveling. With no parking information on record, public transport is the sensible assumption, and deciding how you will get back afterwards pays off. October nights by the lake are cold; a jacket is not optional.
