Summary
The Musashi district of Kunisaki, Oita, celebrates summer with the 53rd Musashi Fireworks Display on August 15, 2026. Launched from off Musashi Port, around 4,000 shells fill 20 minutes from 20:40. Organized by the Oita Godo Newspaper and drawing an expected 15,000 visitors, the display colors the harbor town's night sky on a grand scale.
Overview
The 'Musashi Sato Yu-suzumi Natsu no Yo Matsuri' brings the summer night to life on the Kunisaki Peninsula, with the Oita Godo Newspaper Musashi Fireworks at its heart. The 53rd edition launches from off Musashi Port: about 4,000 shells in a 20-minute run from 20:40 on August 15, 2026. An expected audience of 15,000 gives a sense of how the event gathers the peninsula on a summer night. A taxi from JR Kitsuki Station takes about 30 minutes, while drivers come roughly 15 minutes from Kitsuki IC via Route 213. A free temporary lot is planned around the Musashi General Branch Office, and the roads there will be busy, so set out early. The organizer shares updates on its Instagram account rather than a dedicated website — follow it for program details on the day.
