About this spot
The fireworks festival held at Shogutsuhama Beach facing the Sea of Japan on Saturday, August 22, 2026, starting at 7 PM, illuminating the summer of Nikaho City's Shogutsumachi. Approximately 3,500 fireworks are launched in succession from the beach, and the sound of the explosions mixing with the waves creates an authentic seaside atmosphere. Sitting on your leisure sheet amid the festive food stalls and watching the fireworks unfold is a perfect summer memory. With the venue opening to the sea, you can enjoy the fireworks fully from any position.

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
In case of bad weather, the event may be postponed or cancelled, so check with the organizers on the day to confirm whether the event will proceed. After it ends, the surrounding roads become congested, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow a bit before heading home. The ground is dark, so having a smartphone flashlight is helpful.
Best time to visit
