Torontoron Fireworks Festival 2026 — about 3,000 fireworks launched one after another to music fill the night sky of Kawanami
Torontoron, the revived summer signature of Kawanami Town in Miyazaki, fires about 3,000 music-synced shells from 20:00 on August 29 at the town sports park athletics stadium — the shells are designed to spread directly overhead. Viewing is free, with paid seats also planned; the stadium lawn fills early. JR Kawanami Station is 30 minutes on foot or 5 by taxi, 500 free parking spaces sit at the park, and cleanup volunteers work after the show.
The Torontoron Fireworks Festival returns to the Kawanami Town sports park athletics stadium in Miyazaki on August 29, 20:00–20:30, with about 3,000 shells launched in sync with music — a town summer event revived in 2025. A signature of the show is that shells burst directly above the crowd, so seats inside the stadium put the blooms right overhead. Viewing is free, and paid seating is also planned. JR Kawanami Station is a 30-minute walk or about 5 minutes by taxi; driving takes about 10 minutes from the Takanabe IC on the Higashi-Kyushu Expressway, with 500 free spaces. Cleanup volunteers tend the venue after the show. For the latest arrangements, check announcements from the organizer, the Kawanami Town Tourism Association. Arrive about an hour early — the stadium lawn fills fast — and note the overhead bursts can be loud for small children.
