Now in its 54th year, the Miyawaki Noryo Fireworks Display is a fixture of the city's summer. The venue sits along the levee on the left bank downstream of Honjo Bridge, where roughly 3,000 shells fill the sky and food stalls line the grounds. With 15,000 visitors expected on the Marine Day holiday, plenty of people will mark the end of the long weekend here. From JR Nogata Station, a bus toward Hakata stops at Miyata, a five-minute walk from the venue. Drivers reach the site in about 15 minutes from Wakamiya IC on the Kyushu Expressway, with a free temporary lot of around 900 spaces planned. For a guaranteed spot, look into the paid seating through the organizer's announcements, and allow extra time for the crowds expected around the venue on the night.
