About Kukunoumi Fireworks Festival
- Spectacular Sea Fireworks: Large shells and starmines launched from barges in Dokai Bay offer a unique sense of scale.
- Jazz Fusion: A one-of-a-kind experience where fireworks are perfectly synchronized to jazz rhythms.
- Niagara Display: The iconic 400-meter Niagara fireworks over the Wakamatsu Bridge is a must-see.
- Stay Warm: Since it is late October, we strongly recommend bringing a jacket for the chilly seaside air.
