Schedule & Tickets Information

Background

The Mount Fuji Fireworks VS Speedway 2026, scheduled for April 11, 2026, is a high-octane entertainment spectacle that combines Japan’s world-class pyrotechnic artistry with the adrenaline of motorsports. This event is held as a collaboration with the “Fuji Motorsports Forest” and is part of the larger “Fujisan Hanabi” series. Unlike traditional summer festivals, this spring event offers a rare “triple threat” visual: the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji, the blooming cherry blossoms of the Gotemba area, and roughly 8,000 fireworks illuminating the international racing circuit.

The 2026 edition features a massive 1.5-kilometer launch line along the circuit’s main straight, which is one of the longest in the world. The program is anchored by the “Big 4” pyrotechnic masters of Japan, including the award-winning Ikebun and Nomura Hanabi, who launch giant 2-shaku (24-inch) shells that bloom to nearly 500 meters in diameter. During the day, the speedway hosts “Circuit Experience” programs, where spectators can ride motorcycles or drive their own cars on the track, while the evening is dedicated to a meticulously choreographed “battle” of light and sound synchronized to music.
