Overview

The Nyugawa Hanabi Taikai takes place in Nyugawa, Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, on July 25, 2026. Under the watchword 'citizens' fireworks: continuing history and tradition, giving children dreams and hope', about 6,000 shells are launched from near the Mibugawa inner harbor over the hour from 20:00 to 21:00, with around 50,000 visitors expected. The signature is the near-continuous sequence of bursts. From the harbor-side venue the light can be followed right down to the water. The venue is a 10-minute walk from JR Nyugawa Station, where food stalls line the street in front. By car it is about 5 minutes from Toyo-Tanhara IC on the Imabari Expressway; free parking is available at three sites (Mitsuya-Higashi No.1 Park, Omagari Park, Nyugawa Elementary School) but totals only 410 spaces, so arriving early is advisable.
