Watch Approximately 550 Fireworks from the Ryotsu Bay Breakwater
About this spot
A kawazaki fireworks grand viewing held from the Ryotsu Bay breakwater as the grand finale of the Tanabata Festival. While compact in scale with approximately 550 fireworks, the launches from right beside the harbor pack an impressive impact, and the bands of light reflected on the sea surface are beautiful to enjoy. Watch the finale of this long-cherished summer festival with family in the night breeze of the port town. It becomes a memorable moment that concludes your day in Sado that began with an encounter with the crested ibis.
