Watching Fireworks Paint the Night Sky from the Sandy Beach

About this spot

The Kakizaki Summer Evening Fireworks Festival takes place on Kakizaki Central Beach facing the Japan Sea, a long-cherished local event. While the number of fireworks is not publicized, the appeal lies in being able to view the fireworks unobstructed from the open sandy beach, with fireworks spreading across the night sky alongside the sound of waves. It makes a fitting finale to a day filled with encounters with sea creatures and exploration of the port town, spending a summer evening with the sea breeze.
