*Items that have not been officially announced are not included.

Fireworks Doranbee [Yamakawacho, Kurume City]

The Fireworks Doranbachi, held every year on September 15th, is a Shinto ritual that has been passed down for about 370 years and is a designated intangible folk cultural asset of Fukuoka Prefecture.

The Furukawa family, who had lived in Yamakawa Town for generations, served the Kurume and Arima domains in artillery, and it is said that the tradition began when they taught the people of the area how to make fireworks.

The name "Hanabi Doran Hachi" is unique for a fireworks event. It is said to have originated from the resemblance of the fireworks' flames to the way the bees inside a beehive fly out all at once and scatter when the fireworks are poked.

A large number of fireworks called "parent bees," "baby bees," "explosive sounds," and "tricks" are set up in a 2.5m diameter, 4m high bamboo "beehive." A fuse is then lit from the opposite bank of the temple's pond, and when the fire reaches the "beehive," a thunderous bang and brilliant sparks fly up into the night sky, just like the angry parent and baby bees.

This is a grand folk event that is said to guarantee a good harvest this year once the Doran-Hachi is over.

Akashi Hachiman Yahata Hojoe Fireworks Festival [Kitanocho, Kurume City]

The Akashi Yahata Fireworks Festival is held every year on September 15th to pray for bountiful harvests and good health. It is part of the Akashi Yahata festival and is said to be an event with a history of 300 years.

Approximately 2,000 fireworks will be launched, including Starmine, Niagara, Randam, rotating fireworks, and fountain fireworks. The launch site is in the center of a residential area, about 50 meters from the viewing area. This means that the fireworks will rise almost overhead, allowing you to enjoy a spectacular combination of sound and light.

Chikushino City Festival: Futsukaichi Onsen and Tempaisan Moon Viewing with the Ikiiki Commerce, Industry and Agriculture Festival [Chikushino City]

This festival, which began in 1924, marks its 91st anniversary. It is said that long ago, Sugawara no Michizane, who was exiled to Dazaifu, climbed Mount Tenpai for 100 days, demonstrating his innocence and praying for peace and the safety of the Emperor. This festival is held every year on the day of the harvest moon in autumn to commemorate this event and comfort the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane. On this night, sacred fire delivered from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is lit in the Musashi-ji Temple grounds, Tenpai Park, and on the summit of Mount Tenpai, creating a welcoming fire.

There aren't many fireworks, only 390, but the atmosphere is amazing!

Tenbai Park is bustling with stages and stalls.

Kukinoumi Fireworks Festival [Wakamatsu Ward, Kitakyushu City]

The Kukinoumi Fireworks Festival, which colors Dokai Bay in autumn, is a popular event that attracts over 270,000 visitors every year.

From 2025, the event will be held in October, when the weather is more stable and there is less risk of heatstroke or cancellation due to typhoons.

On this special day, all boat traffic in the bay is stopped, and a launch barge is floated in the center of the bay, from which fireworks such as Odama No. 8 and Starmine (rapid-fire) are launched.

This year, to commemorate the 40th anniversary, approximately 5,000 fireworks will be set off in the night sky, 500 more than usual (there will be no Niagara fireworks from Wakato Bridge).

The perfect location for fireworks over the sea and the huge fireworks that shoot straight up into the air, so high they'll make your neck tired, are a sight to behold.

Wakamatsu is a city that is promoting its revitalization through jazz, and you can enjoy the fusion of sound and light as fireworks are launched to the rhythm of jazz music.

Yahata 2025 Entrepreneurship Festival [Yahata Ward, Kitakyushu City]

The Yawata Entrepreneurship Festival began as a celebration of the start of operations at the government-run Yahata, and has since become Yahata public festival since 1985. It has now become a representative autumn festival in Kitakyushu, attracting over 600,000 people every year, and the fireworks display is the culmination of the festival.

The festival has a wide range of content, including a 25-hour relay race, a dance contest, and a character show. The Yahata tour allows you to enter areas that are normally off-limits to anyone but those involved. You can see the process by which long, red-hot iron blocks are processed into Shinkansen rails and other products.

There are about 300 stalls lined up around Otani Stadium.
