About this spot
The "Japan Sea Sunset Fireworks" held at Shinkawa Fishing Harbor in Nishi Ward, Niigata City. While the number of fireworks is not disclosed, the appeal lies in the calm, early-autumn atmosphere as fireworks spread across the clear night sky after the sun sets into the Japan Sea. Because the fishing harbor is a small-scale venue, you can experience the fireworks intimately—a unique feature of this festival. This is a quiet and beautiful finale befitting the end of a day spent enjoying the nature of wetlands and seaside.
