About this spot

The 12th Higashihiroshima Fireworks Display (東広島花火大会), held on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, is an event in which over a thousand fireworks color the summer night sky from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m., with the venue around Akitsu Port (あきつ港) in Mitsu, Akitsu-cho (安芸津町三津). Fireworks launched near the seawall spread widely across the open sky by the sea, with a scale of sound and light that resonates through your body. The venue is easily accessible, about a 5-minute walk from JR Kure Line's Akitsu Station (JR呉線・安芸津駅). Spread out a leisure sheet with your family and enjoy the fireworks at a relaxed pace while feeling the summer night breeze. After the finale's continuous bursts end, it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow and head home once the crowds have thinned.
