Approximately 4,000 fireworks in the night sky of the Pacific—a summer grand spectacle with the Kuroshio Sea as the stage

About this spot

August 22, 2026 (Saturday) at 8 PM launch time—the climax of the Muroto Fireworks Festival. Approximately 4,000 fireworks launch over the Pacific Ocean in front of Umi no Eki Toromu, and on the open sea stretching to the horizon as the stage, large rings of light burst forth one after another in an openness incomparable to fireworks over mountains or rivers. The thunderous sound of the launch transmitted with the sound of waves and the reflection of fireworks mirrored on the sea's surface create a special experience that can only be savored at this location. The 30-minute program, while compact, is densely packed, and the finale's rapid succession of bursts illuminates the Kuroshio Sea momentarily as if it were daytime.

Tips

Check the official announcement from Muroto City in advance regarding whether the event will be held in case of stormy weather. After the show, vehicles leave the parking lot all at once, so lingering at the venue for a while after the finale to enjoy the lingering impression before moving will help you avoid traffic congestion. The ground becomes dark, so use your smartphone's light to move safely.

Best time to visit

From 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM for the scheduled show time. Secure your seat at least 30 minutes before the start.
