Spectacular Fireworks: Approximately 12,000 Bursts Light the Okhotsk Sea Night Sky

About this spot

Held on July 25, 2026 (Saturday), this fireworks festival uses the Western Breakwater and Hat Rock offshore area of Abashiri Port as its stage. Over the 45-minute period from 8 PM to 8:45 PM, approximately 12,000 fireworks—among Hokkaido's largest launch counts—burst into the sky in succession. Set against the expansive night sky over the Okhotsk Sea, these fireworks are impressive in scale, with ribbons of light reflecting on the water's surface as a spectacular sight. This overwhelming fireworks display marks a fitting finale to summer in Abashiri.
