Around Motomachi Port (元町港周辺)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, this annual fireworks display caps off summer on Izu Oshima. The roughly 1,000 shells (expected) launched from around Motomachi Port can be viewed up close in the sea breeze, set against the open scenery unique to an island surrounded by volcano and sea. Held as part of the summer festival, these fireworks are a moment when islanders and visitors alike come together, symbolizing summer on Izu Oshima. The light of the fireworks also reflects on the night sea, creating a dreamlike sight you can only see on the island at night.

Tips

Depending on weather and pier conditions, the event may be postponed to Sunday, August 9 or Tuesday, August 11 (a national holiday). Check the organizer's announcement on the day to confirm whether it's going ahead. Afterward, the area around the port and the ferry terminal gets crowded, so it's a good idea to enjoy the lingering afterglow of the finale before heading out with a staggered departure. It can get chilly with the sea breeze at night, so bring something to layer.

Best time to visit

Check the organizer's announcement on the day for the fireworks launch time (the Shiokaze Hiroba events run from 17:00 to 20:30). Secure your viewing spot before it gets dark.
