Huis Ten Bosch, the European-themed resort in Sasebo, Nagasaki, will host the 13th Kyushu's Biggest Fireworks Festival on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Set against the backdrop of an illuminated European townscape that has earned the No. 1 illumination ranking in Japan for 13 consecutive years, the event will feature 22,000 fireworks — the largest scale in western Japan. Highlights include dramatic one-foot-diameter shells expanding approximately 300 meters across the sky and a grand finale display that fills the entire field of view.
Special viewing seat tickets will go on sale starting at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. A total of 20 seat types are available across a variety of locations, from seated areas with fountain show views to cruise-style dinner experiences on the water. Popular seats are expected to sell out quickly.
