Why You Should Visit

Itami's fireworks festival on the Inagawa riverbed, where about 3,500 shells go up over 45 minutes and the wide riverbank puts you almost directly beneath them. Usually a summer event, in 2026 it moves to 31 October, when the clearer autumn air sharpens the colours. The 2026 theme is "Light Festival", closing with music-synced star mines and Itami's signature layered golden weeping willow. Ten minutes on foot from JR Itami Station; the free viewing areas need no booking.

FAQ

What happens if it rains?

It is cancelled outright in severe weather, with no rain date. The decision is announced on the day via the City of Itami's official channels.

Is there parking?

No event parking. The site is about 10 minutes on foot from JR Itami Station and 20 from Hankyu Itami Station, and visitors are asked to come by public transport.

How do I get a paid seat?

Two routes: general sale through Ticket Pia, or thank-you gifts for furusato donations to the City of Itami (Itami residents not eligible). In the general sale the S area is sold out and A-area free seating (¥3,000) is still available as of Sept 10. There are no same-day tickets, so once sold out you watch from the free areas.
