2026 SKY ART FESTIVAL Fireworks: A Full-Day Course
This full-day course is built around the SKY ART FESTIVAL, held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, letting you fully enjoy the sea and nature of Shirahama (白浜), Wakayama Prefecture (和歌山県). During the day, meet pandas and other animals at Adventure World (アドベンチャーワールド), and in the afternoon, take in the majestic coastal scenery of Nanki (南紀) at Sandanbeki (三段壁) and Senjojiki (千畳敷). In the evening, enjoy fresh seafood at a restaurant near the Shirahama Onsen (白浜温泉) hot spring town, and once you're full, head to Shirarahama Beach (白良浜), where about 8,000 fireworks will launch. SKY ART FESTIVAL is a fully ticketed festival combining a live music show with fireworks, and an admission ticket is required to enter Shirarahama Beach that day. The dazzling fireworks blooming against the backdrop of white sand and blue sea make for a spectacular sight, a fitting finale to summer on the Kii Peninsula (紀伊半島). This is the definitive summer vacation plan for families, packed generously with the nature, animals, hot springs, and fireworks unique to Nanki Shirahama.
