Summary

On Saturday, August 22, 2026, about 700 fireworks rise from the heights of Mikazuki Satoyama Park in Sayo Town, Hyogo, from 20:20 for 25 minutes, closing the Mikazuki region's beloved Higiri Jizo summer festival. The venue glows with crescent-moon-shaped lighting in a nod to the town's name. JR Mikazuki Station is a 3-minute walk away, and free temporary parking (about 300 spaces at three sites) runs 17:00–21:30.

Overview

The fireworks wrap up the Higiri Jizo grand summer festival, a fixture of the Mikazuki district's summer. Launched from the top of Mikazuki Satoyama Park, some 700 shells arc over the mountain town while crescent-moon motifs light up the venue — a finale that has long belonged to the local community. The park is a 3-minute walk from JR Mikazuki Station, or about 15 minutes by car from Harima-Shinangu IC, 20 minutes from Sayo IC on the Chugoku Expressway via Route 179 toward Tatsuno. Three free temporary lots — the Mikazuki Elementary playground, Ajiwai-no-sato Mikazuki, and beside the Mikazuki nursery — hold about 300 cars between 17:00 and 21:30. Festival and fireworks details are posted on the Town of Sayo website.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

The fireworks run 25 minutes from 20:20. Arriving near the park 30–45 minutes beforehand lets you choose a spot with a clear view from the hilltop. The station is only a 3-minute walk away, which helps.

With kids

The venue is Mikazuki Satoyama Park and its hilltop. Paths get hard to see at night, so hold hands with small children and stay close in the crowd.

Photography tips

Since the shells rise from the hilltop, you can shoot head-on from an outlook at a similar height. Including the crescent-moon lighting in the foreground makes the picture unique to this festival.

Payment

Viewing is free. Food stalls gather around the venue, so bring cash for refreshments. The temporary parking lot (about 300 spaces) is free.
