Setana Isaribi Festival Fireworks Venue (せたな漁火まつり花火大会会場)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This fireworks display, held in Honmachi, Setana-ku, Setana-cho, brings the Isaribi Festival to its close. Starting at 8 p.m., fireworks launch one after another into the clear night sky along the Sea of Japan, where streetlights are few. It's a warm summer festival unique to a harbor town, continued over the years with wishes for fishing safety and regional development. Watching the fireworks together as a family, surrounded by the sound of waves and the scent of the sea, has a rustic beauty quite different from a fireworks display in the city.

Tips

In case of bad weather, the event may be canceled, so check the organizer's announcement on the day. Roads in the area get crowded after the event ends, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow for a while before heading home at a staggered time. The ground underfoot is dark, so it's reassuring to have a smartphone flashlight ready.

Best time to visit

Time it to the 8 p.m. start. Secure a viewing spot 30 minutes before the start.
