View Over 5,000 Grand Fireworks Blooming in the Night Sky Above Ise Bay from the Sandy Beach

About this spot

The Tsu Fireworks Festival launches over 5,000 fireworks from Akogigaura Beach in Tsu City into the night sky above Ise Bay—a premier summer celebration representing the region. Fireworks launched from offshore burst unobstructed across the sky, and the impact of viewing them from the sandy beach alongside the sound of waves is unparalleled. The band of light reflecting on the calm waters of Ise Bay is a beauty unique to seaside fireworks displays. Cherished as a summer tradition by local people for years, the beach fills with spectators on the day. Enjoy a spectacular finale befitting the conclusion of your full day.

Tips

Confirm the start time in advance via official festival information (time is pending and changes are possible). Also check the official announcement on the day regarding postponement or cancellation due to bad weather. After the show, surrounding roads and nearby bus stops become extremely congested; lingering on the beach a moment to savor the finale before heading home can help alleviate crowding. The ground becomes dark, so use your smartphone's light.

Best time to visit

Plan according to the opening time. Securing your viewing spot 20-30 minutes before the start provides peace of mind.
