Approximately 3,800 fireworks burst open over the night Japan Sea - Sanin's grand summer fireworks

About this spot

Starting at 8 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026, the main event of the Uranotomi Coast Genki Festival (Iwami Fireworks Festival). Within the stunning scenery of Sanin Coast National Park, approximately 3,800 fireworks burst successively into the night sky over the Japan Sea. Watching fireworks from the sandy beach while the sound of waves continues endlessly offers a uniquely special experience, different from urban fireworks displays—a blend of stillness and grandeur. Each time a large flower burst illuminates the faces of people sitting on the sand, the murmur of waves and cheers mingle together. Feeling the cool sea breeze of a Sanin summer night, families can slowly gaze up at the sky together, creating summer travel memories that will last long into the future.

Tips

Check the official announcement from the festival organizers for whether the event will proceed in case of bad weather. After the show, roads and parking lot exits around the venue will be congested, so it's easier to avoid traffic by staying on the beach to savor the lingering impressions before leaving. Don't forget lights for the return journey as the ground becomes dark. Confirm your route to Iwami Station in advance.
