Summary
The Tojo Yu-Natsu Festival fireworks light up the playground of Tojo Elementary School in Shobara City, Hiroshima, on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 — about 1,000 shells packed into 20 minutes from 20:40, free to watch. Now in its 24th year, the festival is run by local residents to share Tojo's own culture, history and traditions with the wider world. JR Tojo Station is a 5-minute walk away; there is no parking, so come by rail.
Overview
The fireworks close the festival night at pace: with 1,000 shells compressed into 20 minutes, the sky changes scene after scene until the finale. The festival itself is a resident-led community event built around showcasing Tojo's culture, history and traditions beyond the town, and the 2026 edition is its 24th. The venue, Tojo Elementary School's ground, is 5 minutes on foot from JR Tojo Station and just 2 minutes by car from the Tojo IC on the Chugoku Expressway — but no parking is provided, so the train is the sure way in. The organizing committee runs things directly with no official website; for the day's details, rely on announcements from the committee (based at the Tojo Town Chamber of Commerce). Food stalls add festival flavor around the ground.
