Yaizu Sea Fireworks Festival (焼津海上花火大会, Yaizu Port New Harbor - Shironokoshi Pier)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Yaizu Sea Fireworks Festival takes place at Shironokoshi Pier in Yaizu Port's New Harbor from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, October 24. Each shell, launched from the sea facing Suruga Bay, blooms vividly against the clear autumn night sky, its light also reflecting on the harbor's water as one grand bloom follows another. The powerful fireworks spreading close to the horizon, unique to launches from the sea, combine with the thunderous roar echoing across the quiet night sea to create a fireworks experience found only in a port town. October's autumn sky is clearer than summer's, making the vividly colored fireworks stand out with striking clarity. The moment the finale's rapid bursts light up Yaizu Port's night is the climax of the day.

Tips

Be sure to check Yaizu City's official announcements for whether the event will proceed in case of bad weather. Roads and public transportation around the venue become very crowded after the event ends. Rather than leaving right after the finale, staying on the pier a little longer to savor the afterglow before heading home makes it easier to avoid the crowds. Nighttime temperatures in October are low, so make sure you're well prepared to stay warm after the show ends.

Best time to visit

Plan around the 6:30-8:00 PM event time. Secure your viewing spot at least 30 minutes before the start
