Kobo Daishi Dedication Fireworks Festival

Dedication fireworks lighting up a summer night in Shuzenji

The Kobo Daishi Dedication Fireworks Festival is held every year on August 21 in Shuzenji Onsen. This traditional event is dedicated to Kobo Daishi (Kukai), the Buddhist monk who founded Shuzenji Temple, and is cherished as a seasonal highlight marking the end of summer in the hot spring town.

Fireworks illuminate the night sky above Shuzenji’s mountains and onsen streets, creating a gentle and atmospheric scene unlike large-scale fireworks shows. Visitors can enjoy the display up close in a calm, relaxed setting, surrounded by the quiet charm of the historic town.

Before and after the fireworks, guests can stroll through the onsen streets or enjoy a hot spring bath, fully experiencing the unique nighttime atmosphere of Shuzenji. The combination of fireworks, hot springs, and history makes this event especially memorable.

Why not spend a special summer evening enjoying Japanese tradition and seasonal beauty in this historic onsen (hot spring) town?
