August 15 Tottori Shan-Shan Festival Citizens' Summer Fireworks Festival

Access

The area around the venue becomes extremely crowded on the day of the fireworks festival, so using public transportation is recommended.

By train The venue is approximately a 15-minute walk from JR Tottori Station. Paid shuttle buses are also scheduled to operate from JR Tottori Station. Crowds are expected, so allow plenty of time for your journey.

By car The venue is approximately 10 minutes from the Tottori IC on the Tottori Expressway. However, extensive traffic restrictions will be imposed around the venue from the evening on the day of the fireworks festival, and some sections will be closed to vehicles. Street parking around the venue is prohibited and causes significant inconvenience, so please refrain from doing so. If you must come by car, it is wise to use a paid parking lot around Tottori Station, a little farther from the venue, and plan to walk or take a shuttle bus from there. Please check the official website and other sources in advance for details of the traffic restrictions. The return journey will also be extremely crowded, and public transportation is expected to be packed. Check the JR last train times in advance and plan your schedule carefully.

Reserved Seating and Tickets

Unfortunately, no paid viewing seats are scheduled to be sold for the 2026 Tottori Shan-Shan Festival Citizens' Summer Fireworks Festival. We therefore recommend arriving early to claim a spot. Bring a leisure sheet or similar item, secure a comfortable place, and enjoy the fireworks.

Lesser-Known Viewing Spots

For those who want to enjoy the fireworks while avoiding the crowds, here are several recommended lesser-known viewing spots.

• Kyusho Park (Tottori Castle Ruins) Kyusho Park, which spreads across the Tottori Castle ruins, is a little farther from the launch site, but its elevated position offers panoramic views of the fireworks together with Tottori City's nighttime skyline. It is recommended for those who want to enjoy the fireworks at a relaxed pace in a historic setting.

• Around Tottori Port (Karo Port) The area around Tottori Port (Karo Port), located northwest of the venue, is also known as a relatively uncrowded spot for viewing the fireworks. It is especially recommended for families, as there is plenty of open space to enjoy the show.

• Aeon Mall Tottori Kita rooftop parking lot For those who would rather take in the entire display from a little farther away, the rooftop parking lot at Aeon Mall Tottori Kita is a good option. You can stop by while shopping and watch the fireworks from an elevated position. However, the area may also become crowded on the day, so arriving early is advisable.

• The opposite bank from the launch site The opposite bank across the Chiyogawa River from the launch site is recommended for those who want to see the fireworks up close and experience their full impact. However, it is expected to be extremely crowded, so arriving early to secure a spot is essential here as well.
