The 78th Miyazaki Nouryo Fireworks Festival — a sense of presence where you can enjoy the launch power up close
The Miyazaki Noryo Fireworks take place along the Oyodo riverbank in Miyazaki City on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 19:50 to 21:00. Begun in 1949 and marking its 78th edition, the display launches more than 10,000 fireworks, with rigged fireworks, star mines and a finale 'Niagara Falls' strung across the river. There is no parking at the venue — come by public transport (Miyakoh bus about 10 minutes from JR Miyazaki Station to Kihachō 1-chōme, then a 5-minute walk). Five kinds of paid seats are offered, all but single chair seats reserved, with tickets on sale from early June 2026.
The Miyazaki Noryo Fireworks, begun in 1949 and marking its 78th edition in 2026, fill the sky above the Oyodo riverbank in Miyazaki City on Saturday, August 1, from 19:50 to 21:00 with more than 10,000 shells. Rigged fireworks and star mines unfold in rich variety, and the finale brings the 'Niagara Falls' — a cascade strung across the river that lights up the sky and the water below. Five kinds of paid seats are offered, all but the single-person chair seats reserved; tickets go on sale in early June 2026, so check the official website for the latest. There is no parking at the venue, so come by public transport — the Miyakoh bus toward Miyako City runs about 10 minutes from JR Miyazaki Station to Kihachō 1-chōme, then it's a 5-minute walk.
