Watch the Hamada Minato Festival Fireworks Display as They Light Up the Night Sea of Japan

About this spot

The Hamada Minato Festival Fireworks Display is held around Pier No. 7 of Hamada Fishing Port and represents the summer night festival fireworks that characterize Hamada City. The fireworks erupting over the harbor are illuminated against the backdrop of both the mountain range behind and the vast Sea of Japan before you. The appeal of this fishing port location is that you can view the fireworks straight-on from an open space, and the launching sounds carried on the sea breeze fully convey the vibrant energy of a summer harbor town. The moment when the finale illuminates the night sky is a scene worthy of bringing this entire day to its perfect conclusion.

Tips

The event may be postponed or canceled in bad weather—confirm the announcement from Hamada City or the official festival organizers on the day. After the show ends, roads and parking areas around the venue become crowded. It's recommended either to wait a while before moving after the fireworks end, or if parked within walking distance, to return to your vehicle once the crowds have subsided. The area will be dark, so prepare your smartphone light.

Best time to visit

Starting time is 8:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Secure your viewing spot at least 30 minutes before the show begins.
