2026 Kamakura Fireworks Festival 1-Day Full Course
Centered around the 78th Kamakura Fireworks Festival held on Friday, July 10, 2026, this is a full-day course to enjoy ancient Kamakura from afternoon through evening. The afternoon includes street food on Komachi Street, then visits to the iconic Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the Kamakura Great Buddha, and Hase Temple. As evening falls, relax on Yuigahama Beach in the sea breeze before moving to Shioriki Beach once dusk settles. From the sandy shore, watch approximately 2,500 fireworks and the famous underwater fireworks launched from the offshore fireworks boat into the sea. This is the definitive summer Kamakura plan, packed with both temple visits and seaside fireworks viewing.
