About this spot

The Tsuruga Station area has become even more lively since the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Tsuruga in spring 2024. At the station building and surrounding commercial facilities, you'll find souvenirs and local specialties characteristic of Tsuruga, perfect for shopping before the fireworks. On the fireworks festival day, which coincides with Obon, the station area is filled with people in yukata and a festive atmosphere. Complete your snack and beverage shopping at convenience stores and kiosks during this time so that your evening viewing is lighter. If your luggage increases, depositing items in coin lockers will make the move to the pine grove easier.

Fireworks details

Name: とうろう流しと大花火大会

Date & time: 8/16 (Sun) 19:30–20:15

Venue: 敦賀市・気比の松原海岸沖合

Shells: approx. 10,000

毎年お盆の8月16日に開催される、敦賀を代表する夏の祭典です。気比の松原海岸沖合から打ち上げられる約10,000発の花火は、開けた敦賀湾の夜空を圧倒的なスケールで彩ります。とうろう流しと同日に行われるため、海面には無数のとうろうの灯りが揺れる中で花火が上がるという、全国でも類を見ない幻想的な光景が生まれます。故人を送るとうろうの静かな光と、夜空を割る花火の轟音と光の対比が、見る人の心に深く刻まれます。約45分間、波の音とともに夜空を埋め尽くす大輪の花火を、砂浜から家族で見上げてください。

Tips

荒天時は中止または延期になる場合があるため、当日の開催情報は敦賀市の公式発表や大会公式サイトで確認してください。終演後は帰宅客が集中し、バス・タクシーは大変混雑します。フィナーレ後は砂浜で余韻を楽しみながら時間をずらし、足元をライトで照らして安全に移動しましょう。駐車場は早い時間から満車になるため、公共交通機関の利用が強く推奨されます。

Tips

Within a 0-5 minute walk from JR Tsuruga Station. On the fireworks festival day evening, foot traffic around the station increases, so it's recommended to complete your shopping before congestion becomes serious. Secure a coin locker early. Also check the schedules for final transport (buses and taxis) to Kehi Pine Grove using an app during this time.
