Summary

The Shisa Town Noryo Fireworks mark the end of Obon in Matsuura City, Nagasaki, on Saturday, August 15, 2026. From about 7:30 p.m., spirit boats parade the Shisa shopping street with firecrackers and Matsuura taiko drums, before about 1,000 shells rise from the lower Shisa River over 20 minutes from about 8:30 p.m. The venue is a 5-minute walk from Matsuura Station; in bad weather the fireworks move to Monday, August 17.

Overview

The evening opens with the spirit-boat procession — boats sending off ancestral spirits set off from in front of the Amista Hotel at about 7:30 p.m. and parade the shopping street to the beat of firecrackers and taiko. The fireworks follow at about 8:30 p.m.: roughly 1,000 shells in 20 minutes over the lower reaches of the Shisa River. Matsuura Station is a 5-minute walk from the riverbank, and free parking for about 150 cars sits at the city-office lot and nearby. In case of bad weather, only the fireworks move to Monday, August 17.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Be along the riverbank 30–45 minutes before the launch (about 8:30 p.m.). If you want to catch the spirit-boat parade, be near the Amista Hotel around 7:30 p.m. Free parking totals 150 spaces at the city-office lot and nearby; JR Matsuura Station is a 5-minute walk away.

With kids

Firecrackers crack along the spirit-boat parade, so keep sound-sensitive children at a distance or pack ear protection — the fireworks run loud too. Watch footing along the riverbank and set a meeting point for the crowds.

Photography tips

A tripod and longer exposure will take in the bursts reflected on the river; spirit-boat lanterns in the foreground make a distinctly Obon-season shot.

Payment

Viewing is free with no paid seats. Stalls generally take cash — carry plenty of coins. Parking: about 150 spaces at the city-office lot and nearby, free.
