Shidahara Lake Fire Festival

A Fantasy of Lights and Fireworks Reflected on the Lake

The Shidahara Lake Fire Festival, held every August at the scenic Shidahara Dam, is a beloved summer tradition in Bungoono. Established around 40 years ago, the festival expresses gratitude to the dam for protecting the region from natural disasters while also praying for the community's health and abundant harvests.

The approach to the venue is lit with torches, creating a magical atmosphere. On the lake’s calm surface, glowing fire characters made of small torches and lantern lights are beautifully reflected, suffusing the entire area with an enchanting ambiance. The suspension bridge over the lake is also illuminated in vibrant colors.

The highlight of the festival is the fireworks display. The breathtaking sight of dazzling fireworks bursting in the night sky and reflecting on the water leaves visitors spellbound. Be sure not to miss the dynamic Niagara Falls-style fireworks that cascade like a glowing waterfall.

In addition, a special stage features performances of local traditional arts and music, adding further excitement to this memorable summer evening.
