Secure Your Spot While Viewing Wakasa Bay, Wait for Showtime as Dusk Falls
About this spot
In the evening, Uminnpia Ooi is a beautiful time when the sunset sinking into Wakasa Bay paints the sky and sea in orange hues. Once you've secured your viewing spot, spread out the meal you brought or purchased from nearby food stalls and leisurely await the opening. In September, Wakasa Bay's air is clearer than summer's peak, and you can see even the distant mountain silhouettes on the far side of the bay in sharp detail. As daylight fades, viewing crowds increase, so it's wise to arrange restroom visits and beverage purchases while it's still light. Savoring each moment as the sky's color transforms from dusk to night is the true charm of this time.

Name: 若狭おおいのスーパー大火勢
Date & time: 9/5 (Sat) 19:30–20:00
Venue: おおい町・うみんぴあ大飯沖合
若狭おおいのスーパー大火勢は、福井県おおい町の夏を締めくくる海上花火大会です。うみんぴあ大飯の沖合から打ち上げられる花火は、リアス式の湾内に映えて独特の迫力があります。海上から放たれる花火は水平線すれすれの低い位置から夜空高くまで広がり、静かな若狭湾の海面に映る光との競演は、海辺の花火ならではの美しさです。フィナーレに向けて次々と空を染めていく大輪の光は、若狭の秋口の夜を忘れられないものにしてくれます。地元の人々と一緒に、若狭湾の潮風の中で楽しむ花火の30分間は、この1日のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会公式情報または地元自治体の発表で必ず確認してください。終演後は会場周辺の道路や駐車場が混雑します。フィナーレ後は少し時間をおいて、混雑が落ち着いてから移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗くなるため、小さなライトやスマートフォンのライトで安全に歩きましょう。
