View the Grand Fireworks Launched from Wakasa Bay's Offshore from the Shoreline

About this spot

The Wakasa Ooi Super Daikasei is a maritime fireworks festival closing out summer in Ooi Town, Fukui Prefecture. Fireworks launched from offshore Uminnpia Ooi have a unique impact as they reflect within the rias bay. The fireworks released from the sea spread from just above the horizon high into the night sky, and the interplay of light reflected on the quiet Wakasa Bay waters offers beauty unique to seaside fireworks. The great blooming arcs lighting up the sky toward the finale paint Wakasa's autumn evening unforgettably. The 30 minutes of fireworks enjoyed alongside local residents in the sea breeze of Wakasa Bay is this day's climax.
