What to know

The Fukuchiyama Fireworks Festival takes place on August 11, 2026, from 8:00 PM to 8:45 PM, with around 6,000 fireworks launched above the Yura River riverbed.

If you do not have a paid seat, consider these free viewing directions: the Fukuchiyama Castle high ground, the Hirokoji-dori area, open streets and elevated spots in central Fukuchiyama, and outer areas around the Yura River.

These are suggested public viewing areas rather than reserved seats. Buildings, crowds, traffic controls, and restricted zones may affect the view on the day.
