Approximately 3,000 Fireworks Over Morie Bay - Enjoy Fireworks with the Sea Breeze

About this spot

The Kitsuki City Summer Fireworks Festival is a summer night celebration launching from the Shiota Special Venue (Kitsuki Kaihama Yume Park) facing Morie Bay. Approximately 3,000 fireworks burst successively into the calm bay's night sky, creating an illusory scene as light reflects on the water's surface. Surrounded by mountains and sea, the bay's location amplifies the sound resonating off the water with unparalleled impact. This is the climax worthy of concluding a day enjoying both castle town history and seaside fireworks—a summer night befitting Oita's essence.

Surrounding roads and parking become congested after conclusion, so enjoying the afterglow at the venue before leaving helps avoid traffic jams. Prepare smartphone flashlights as return paths are dark.
