Approximately 10,000 fireworks illuminating the night sky over Suruga Bay for 45 minutes

About this spot

The Nihondaira Festival Grand Fireworks Show held on July 22 (Wednesday), 2026, at the Nihondaira Hotel (日本平ホテル) outdoor garden. With approximately 10,000 fireworks launched over 45 minutes from 7:15 PM to 8:00 PM, they illuminate the night sky over Suruga Bay. The view from the high point overlooking Suruga Bay offers exceptional openness, and the grand bursts of fireworks against the sea backdrop are of incomparable power and beauty. A feast of light blooming above the night view of Shimizu Port is truly a spectacular scene unique to Nihondaira. When the finale's rapid-fire bursts fill the night sky, all the emotions of this full day converge.

Tips

Check the official festival announcement on the day to confirm whether the event will proceed in case of bad weather. After the show ends, the descent path from Nihondaira and surrounding roads become extremely congested. Enjoying the lingering atmosphere in the garden for a while after the fireworks, then heading home when things settle down is safer. Always plan your return bus or car schedule and check congestion information in advance. The ground becomes dark, so a smartphone flashlight or small flashlight is convenient.

Best time to visit

7:15 PM to 8:00 PM show time. Secure your viewing spot 15-20 minutes before the start.
