The "Nihon Ocean Fireworks Display," held along the beautiful coastline of Yurihonjo, Akita, is a magnificent event where the majestic Sea of Japan meets a sky filled with light. The highlight is the fireworks launched directly from the sea, offering an unparalleled sense of openness and the beautiful reflection of light on the water surface. It is a rare opportunity to experience the quintessential Japanese summer tradition in a spectacular maritime setting.
The greatest highlight is the vibrant colors of the fireworks painted across the vast canvas of the Sea of Japan. Because they are launched from the ocean, the visual effect of the light reflecting on the water surface is much more intense than land-based displays. The sight of large, blooming flowers of light high in the sky and the illumination of the sea surface will captivate all visitors. Enjoy the essence of a Japanese summer while feeling the refreshing sea breeze and the artistic interplay of nature and light.
The event is scheduled for July 18, 2026. Since it takes place during the peak of summer, you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a Japanese summer night. Please note that the exact start time of the fireworks may change depending on weather conditions and progress; please check local signs or announcements on the day.
The venue is around the "Michi-no-Eki Iwaki Island-style Fishing Port Park" in Yurihonjo, Akita. This location is adjacent to the Dogawa Fishing Port, which is famous for its unique
