Approximately 10,000 Fireworks Blooming in the Night Seto Inland Sky, View Music Fireworks from the Harbor

About this spot

Approximately 10,000 grand fireworks launching from offshore the 10,000-ton berth of Hiroshima Port paint the Seto Inland night sky for one hour. A major feature of the festival is the "Fireworks Museum" style presentation where music and fireworks are synchronized; the composition changes the color, shape, and rhythm of fireworks in time with the song's beat, making it an experiential fireworks festival enjoyable not just visually but aurally. The scale of approximately 10,000 fireworks launching amid light bands reflecting on the water's surface, the scent of the tide, and the night breeze of the Seto Inland—all create a climax truly unique to Hiroshima, a port city.
