Approximately 5,000 Fireworks Light the Night Sky Above Mikawa Bay - Watch Them Reflect on the Water's Surface

About this spot

The cool evening fireworks spectacular that caps off the Gamagori Festival, held on July 26, 2026 (Sunday) from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Approximately 5,000 fireworks launched from around Takeshima Pier unfold in brilliant bursts across the wide water stage of Mikawa Bay. Within the quiet calm unique to a mild inland bay, the sound of fireworks resonates off the water's surface, and the shimmering light reflecting on the water is another highlight. The advantage of viewing from this location is the Gamagori-specific scenery: watching with the silhouette of Takeshima against the night backdrop. The finale builds with rapid-fire displays, becoming a spectacular flood of light that simultaneously fills both sea and sky.

Tips

Check with Gamagori City or the official festival announcement in advance regarding whether the event will proceed in case of bad weather. After the show ends, the area around JR Gamagori Station becomes extremely crowded. After the finale, either wait a while before moving or depart at a staggered time for a more comfortable experience. The ground will be dark, so having a smartphone light or small lantern is helpful. Check the last train times in advance to prepare for the return trip congestion.

Best time to visit

During the 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM event hours. Secure your viewing location by 30 minutes before the start.
