Approximately 4,000 fireworks from Susa Bay's sea, with light reflecting on the water and the sound of the tide

About this spot

A fireworks grand prix that caps off the Susa Otokonomikoto Summer Festival, launching approximately 4,000 fireworks from the calm sea of Susa Bay. The geography of the inlet, surrounded by hills on three sides, reverberates sound, and the roar of fireworks resonates through your body with unparalleled impact. The moment when the band of light reflected on the water's surface overlaps with fireworks blooming large overhead displays a beauty unique to seaside fireworks festivals. In a small port town in northern Hagi City, a one-night-only extraordinary landscape appears on a summer evening—experienced from the sandy beach alongside the scent of the sea and the sound of waves. Unlike large-scale urban festivals, the warmth of a community-rooted celebration is also a distinctive charm of Susa.
