Why You Should Visit
Fireworks light up the sky every single night for 30 days at NESTA RESORT KOBE in Miki City, from July 25 to August 23. The main event is a roughly 10-minute fireworks show synchronized to music — 515 shells a night and 15,450 over the season, one of the largest displays in the Kansai region. Before the show, enjoy HANABINGO (a bingo-style game played with the fireworks' colors and patterns), classic festival games like target shooting, and night-market food stalls. Pair it with the resort's pools and hot springs for a full summer day out.
