Kamiura Sea Festival and Japan's Shortest Fireworks Display (かみうら海まつり・日本一短い花火大会, Asaoi-ura)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Marinopolis Memorial Park (マリノポリス記念公園) in Asaoi-ura, this is the fireworks display billed as Japan's shortest. The Kamiura Sea Festival itself begins at 6:00 PM, and the fireworks launch around 9:15 PM. About 1,000 fireworks are concentrated into a short span of time, which is exactly what lets you focus fully on each and every moment — a charm unique to this festival. The light and sound condensed into the night sky of this quiet fishing village leave a deep impression that's different from flashiness.
