KASHIHARA SKY PALETTE Manyo Fireworks — supported by Anker — paints the sky over the Kashihara Sports Park in Nara on November 22, 2026, program from 5:30 p.m. The 'Manyo' theme nods to Japan's oldest poetry anthology and the ancient capital region's layered history. The ticketed show offers paid seating and in-venue food stalls; no event parking is arranged, in keeping with the park's rail access.
Kashihara, the city at the heart of Nara's ancient-capital country, closes its event calendar with a produced, sponsor-backed fireworks evening: SKY PALETTE, themed around 'Manyo' — the ten-thousand leaves of Japan's oldest poetry collection. The 2026 date is November 22 at the Kashihara Sports Park, with the program opening 5:30 p.m. — an early start befitting late November's early dark. The event runs on tickets: paid seating in tiers, food stalls inside the venue, and no event parking, the park's design assuming rail arrival. The event's official site handles ticketing and publishes the program. Expect composed, music-conscious sequencing rather than festival volume; the theme promises color work as the signature. The 5:30 p.m. opening suits the season's early nightfall.
