About this spot

Held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, fireworks illuminate Nishi Hama Beach (吹浦西浜), famous for its sunset views over the Sea of Japan (日本海). Starting at 7:20 PM, fireworks light up the night sky with Mount Chokai (鳥海山) in the background. After spending a full day visiting the mysterious pond, Buddhist statues by the sea, and mountain shrines, the fireworks you see here become a special finale unique to Yuza Town. The intimate, community-based atmosphere is also appealing.
