Oarai's Largest Fireworks: Approximately 20,000 Bursts Illuminate the Night Pacific Sky

About this spot

A large-scale fireworks festival with approximately 20,000 fireworks unfolding on Oarai Sunbeach as its stage. The fireworks blooming across the unobstructed vast Pacific sky offer a sense of openness completely different from inland fireworks festivals. Large chrysanthemum bursts detonating over the sea create rich sound reverberations, and sitting on the sandy beach watching them rise brings the light and sound forcefully to your entire body. Diverse programs featuring star mines and large shells light up the night sky, with successive launches toward the finale greatly exciting spectators. Enjoy Oarai's most grand night of the year alongside the September seaside breeze.

Tips

Confirm the start time on the day from the official announcement (time not yet determined). Follow official information for rain-related cancellations or postponements. After the show, surrounding roads and parking will be extremely congested, so either wait some time after the fireworks end before leaving or confirm pedestrian routes to Oarai Station in advance. Since footing is dark, having a smartphone light or headlight is reassuring.

Best time to visit

Secure your viewing spot on the sandy beach 20 to 30 minutes before the fireworks launch begins.
