Why You Should Visit

A digital fireworks show in which 15,000 LEDs set into the Kyoto Station Building's grand stairway paint bursts of light in time with summer songs. Nothing is actually launched, so rain and wind matter little, and you can watch it inside the station. It runs nightly from 1 to 6 August, 19:30 for an hour. Through the same week the station square below hosts the Ekibiru Week of the Shimogyo-Kyoto Station Summer Festa, with yosakoi, a Kyoto Sanga players' talk show, an amateur singing contest and a NEO Bon-odori with DJ KOO.

FAQ

Are these real fireworks?

No — nothing is launched. It is a digital show in which 15,000 LEDs built into the grand stairway render fireworks in time with music. Being inside the station building, it is largely unaffected by wind and rain.

Does it cost anything?

It is free and needs no booking — just head to Muromachi-koji Plaza on the 4th floor at showtime. Entry may be restricted if it gets crowded.
