Approximately 13,000 Fireworks Light Up the Sea of Japan Night Sky - Spectacular Fireworks Viewed from Echizen Fishing Port

About this spot

The Echizen Minato Grand Fireworks, held at Echizen Fishing Port Plaza (Hamahirugas Park), is Echizen Town's major summer event where approximately 13,000 fireworks illuminate the Sea of Japan night sky. With the vast Sea of Japan as its backdrop, the fireworks launched before you are unobstructed, and the sight of starbursts and wide starbursts blooming across the entire night sky is breathtaking. The sound of waves mingles with the roar of fireworks, and viewing the fireworks amid the scent of the sea offers a completely different experience from fireworks displays in urban areas - one unique to the seaside. The moment when the finale's continuous launches fill the fishing port's night sky is the greatest climax of your day.
