Held during the Niseko Summer Festival in August, this fireworks display is set against one of Japan's most iconic mountain backdrops — the near-perfect volcanic cone of Mount Yotei, often called Hokkaido's Fuji. Shells are launched from the Niseko town athletic ground with clear sightlines across the Shiribeshi valley, and the mountain silhouette behind the bursting colours makes for extraordinary photographs. The surrounding festival features local agricultural produce stalls, craft beer from Niseko Brewing, and live music, drawing both domestic visitors and the resort's growing international community.
