Summary
The Shikamachi Furusato Summer Festival closes with 1,200 fireworks over 30 minutes from 9 p.m. on Thursday, August 13, 2026, around the former Shikamachi branch office in Sasebo, Nagasaki. Being close to the sea, the show features underwater fireworks whose light scatters across the water. Stage shows, a flea market and a prize lottery round out the program; a free 200-space lot sits near the venue.
Overview
The festival packs the neighborhood around the old Shikamachi branch office with stage shows, flea markets and a lucky-draw raffle, drawing locals together through the evening. At 9 p.m., 1,200 shells climb in 30 minutes, and the sea-adjacent setting adds underwater fireworks — the gradient of light they cast across the surface is the show's signature. The venue is about 10 minutes by taxi from Matsuura Railway's Emukae-Shikamachi Station, or 15 minutes by Saikai bus (Ogase-bound) from Emukae Bus Center to the Shikamachi Administrative Center stop. By car, allow about 35 minutes from Saza IC; free parking covers 200 cars.
