Approximately 1,000 fireworks illuminate Bentenjima's night sky, summer's grand finale

About this spot

The Bentenjima Fireworks Festival held on July 4, 2026 (Saturday) launches approximately 1,000 fireworks from above Bentenjima where Enshu Nada and Lake Hamanako meet. Watching fireworks looking up from the open seashore, enveloped in the scent of tide and the sound of waves, offers a sense of openness different from urban fireworks displays. The sight of the silhouette of Bentenjima's iconic vermillion torii gate overlapping with fireworks blooming in the night sky creates a special scene unique to this location. Approximately 1,000 fireworks enjoyed in the clear seaside air, though modest in scale, provide a fitting climax to the day.
