Savor sea breezes and stunning views at a cape overlooking the Sea of Japan
About this spot
Banno Cape is a small cape jutting out along the coastline in the southern part of Kashiwazaki City, where the Banno-dō (Banno Hall), known as a sacred site of the Nichiren Buddhist sect, stands. From the cape's tip, the view of the Sea of Japan is expansive, and on clear days there is a sense of openness as the boundary between the blue sea and sky stretches endlessly. It's also worthwhile to stroll the walking paths around the cape while taking in views of the north coastline where this evening's fireworks will launch. By making use of shade from pine groves, you can enjoy nature comfortably even in midsummer. Refresh yourself with the sound of waves and the scent of sea salt before the fireworks.

ぎおん柏崎まつり 海の大花火大会は、約16,000発を日本海の沖合から打ち上げる、全国屈指の規模を誇る花火大会です。開催日は2026年7月26日(日)、19時30分から21時10分まで約1時間40分にわたって繰り広げられます。海上スターマイン、尺玉の連発、大型割物と演目が次々と切り替わり、広大な海面が反射する光と、胸に響く轟音が一体となった圧倒的な迫力はほかでは味わえません。打ち上げ場所が沖合の海上であるため、煙に隠れにくく花火の全形が美しく見えるのも日本海の花火大会ならではの特長です。フィナーレの一斉打ち上げで夜空と海が一面に染まる瞬間は、この1日の記憶に深く刻まれる光景になるでしょう。
