A summer fireworks show over the amusement park side of Himeji Central Park. About 3,000 shells go up in roughly 10 minutes from around Kaze no Shiro and the Venus GP, right after the rides. It runs on 31 days in total — weekends, public holidays and the Obon period — and park admission is required.

Essentials

NOTE

Launch and viewing

  • Fireworks go up around Kaze no Shiro and the Venus GP
  • Watch from near the Hurricane ride, facing Kaze no Shiro
  • Or from the night pool area of Aqueria, facing the Ferris wheel
  • They cannot be seen from the safari side
  • From the car park you see only part of the display, with no music
  • The MC is stationed near the Hurricane

Off limits

  • From 19:30, the upper hillside area (above the Party Cups)

Notes

  • The show runs in rain, but may be called off at short notice for strong wind, severe weather or other safety reasons
  • Last admission to the amusement park is 20:00, when it also closes
  • Some rides stop taking riders earlier because of the fireworks setup, sunset or crowding
  • Rides near the launch area close earlier to keep the safety distance
  • Please do not watch from the surrounding roads; it disturbs residents and blocks traffic
