Watch about 3,000 fireworks illuminate the Seto Inland night sky from the white sandy beach
About this spot
The "Nijihanabu" Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, true to its name lights the night sky with rainbow-colored fireworks. About 3,000 fireworks light up the night sky above Nijiigahama Beach from 8:00 PM to 8:45 PM for 45 minutes. Viewing the fireworks from the beautiful white sand and green pine coast while listening to the gentle waves of the calm Seto Inland Sea offers a poetic time quite different from urban fireworks festivals. It's a fitting climax to cap off a day of enjoying local history and seaside scenery.
