Kurayoshi Uchibuki Festival — Hiten Fireworks Festival: relax and enjoy fireworks at the riverside plaza while savoring the festival's finale
About 4,000 fireworks close the two-day Utsubuki Festival in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, on Sunday, August 2, 2026. The Hiten Fireworks Display fires from the Hiten Yume Hiroba riverbank around Kurayoshi Ohashi Bridge between 20:30 and 20:50 — a dense, concentrated 20-minute finale. Stage performances and the 'Rakuichi Rakuza' market keep the festival lively, and the venue is steps from the Sogo Jimusho-mae bus stop, about five minutes by bus from JR Kurayoshi Station. Light rain won't stop the show, but severe weather cancels it.
The Utsubuki Festival, held over two summer days in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, ends on Sunday, August 2, 2026 with the Hiten Fireworks Display. From 20:30 to 20:50, roughly 4,000 shells rise from the Hiten Yume Hiroba riverbed near Kurayoshi Ohashi Bridge. The short, concentrated program means the sky is lit almost continuously for twenty minutes — arrive with your spot secured well before the start. Beyond the fireworks, the festival grounds host stage performances and the 'Rakuichi Rakuza' market, so the area stays busy from daytime. Take a city-bound bus from JR Kurayoshi Station (about 5 minutes) to the Sogo Jimusho-mae stop, right by the venue; drivers reach it in about 60 minutes from the Yunogo IC on the Yonago Expressway, with 500 free parking spaces. The display proceeds in light rain but is cancelled in severe weather, so keep an eye on the day's announcements.
