Flow of the course

About this spot

rockin'star Carnival, held on October 3, 2026 (Saturday), is a large-scale fireworks display launching approximately 20,000 fireworks from Hitachi Seaside Park. Viewed from the vast grounds with the Pacific Ocean as backdrop, the unobstructed display of starmines and large shells bursting across the entire night sky delivers unparalleled impact. Seen in autumn's crisp air, the fireworks display vibrant and clear colors distinct from summer fireworks, offering a different kind of beauty. With approximately 20,000 fireworks, this is among Japan's largest fireworks displays; the rapid finale of successive launches illuminates both the night sky and ocean, filling the entire viewing area with cheers. Only the seaside park's expansive location makes possible such a grand-scale autumn fireworks experience.
