A person was detained at the scene in Wakayama, where Mr Kishida had been due to give a speech, local media reported.
A witness said they saw a person throwing something, followed by smoke, while another said they heard a big bang. No injuries were reported.
Video showed officers piling on top of a person, believed to be a suspect.
Police say they have made an arrest, but have so far declined to comment further.
Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, quoted Mr Kishida as saying there was a "loud blast" at the venue. "Police are investigating details, but I'd like to apologise for worrying many people and causing them trouble."
Japan Secret Service is garbage. Might as well have all future PMs wear full body armor given the ineptitude.
