Fuji Fireworks vs. Speedway” is a large-scale fireworks event held in collaboration with Fuji Motorsports Forest, a multi-purpose area offering a variety of mobility experiences centered around Fuji Speedway. The combination of the world’s best fireworks, launched right in front of Mt. Fuji, and motorsports unfolding on the international Fuji Speedway circuit is a unique and innovative form of entertainment. The fourth event will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026, when the cherry blossoms are at their peak. This unique setting will allow you to enjoy the beauty of Japan’s three symbols: cherry blossoms, fireworks, and Mount Fuji, all at once. A supreme
competition bringing together the world’s top fireworks makers The fireworks that will adorn this event will be produced by one of Japan’s most prestigious fireworks companies. Participants include Ikebun, a representative of Shizuoka Prefecture, Nomura Fireworks, which has won the Prime Minister’s Award 22 times in total at domestic competitive fireworks festivals, Katakai Fireworks, which is responsible for historic fireworks festivals such as the Gion Kashiwazaki Festival Seaside Fireworks Display and the Katakai Festival, and Marutamaya Ogatsu Fireworks, which has a history of over 150 years and has made a name for itself with numerous large-scale fireworks festivals such as the Sumida River Fireworks Display. Japan’s top pyrotechnicians will gather at the foot of Mount Fuji for a one-night-only extravagant competition. A “phantom large flower” that can only be seen at limited competitions in Japan – A miraculous 2-shaku tama blooming in the night sky at the foot of Mt. Fuji One of the highlights of this event is the launch of the “2-shaku dama” (large fireworks). The large flower, born from a roughly 60cm diameter ball, blooms approximately 500m into the sky, spreading to a diameter of approximately 480m, instantly illuminating the entire night sky. The 2-shaku dama requires several conditions to be met, including a spacious launch site, a safe environment, and highly skilled fireworks artists. Opportunities to see it in person are extremely limited even within Japan, making it truly worthy of being called a “miraculous large firework.” Furthermore, the launch will be approximately 1.5km wide, taking place on the expansive Fuji Speedway circuit. “Mount Fuji Fireworks vs Speedway 2026” Event Overview ■ Name: Mt.

A long-established fireworks shop that has been in business since the Edo period and is a symbol of the Sumida River Fireworks Festival! Marutamaya Ogatsu Fireworks Shop, founded in 1864 (Genji 1), began manufacturing fireworks for display at the end of the Edo period and has continued to grow for over 150 years from its base in Tokyo. From the Meiji to Showa periods, the company spread fireworks culture both domestically and internationally. After the war, it was responsible for the Constitution-promulgation fireworks held in front of the Imperial Palace and the revival of the Ryogoku River Festival, laying the foundation for the revival of Japanese fireworks. Furthermore, through exports, the company has widely publicized the excellence of Japanese fireworks and established a global reputation. Currently, the company continues to carry on traditional techniques at its factories in Ibaraki and Yamanashi prefectures, pursuing works that combine artistry with quality and safety. It embodies the spirit of the “Edo-Tokyo Style,” combining the sophistication of Edo with the innovation of Tokyo. The starmine display, a blend of innovation and tradition, debuted at the Mount Fuji Fireworks Festival in April 2025, captivating large audiences.
