Enjoy Fireworks Launching Against White Sand Dunes and the Sea of Japan

About this spot

A fireworks festival held on August 23, 2026 (Sunday) at Hōjō Sand Dunes. While there is no official count of fireworks, the spectacle of fireworks against the white sand dunes and Sea of Japan backdrop offers a charm different from Tottori Sand Dunes – rooted in local tradition with a rustic, warm atmosphere. Watching the lights paint the night sky with family while surrounded by the sounds of waves and fireworks is a perfect summer vacation memory. Carry the finale's afterglow in your heart as you make your way home.

Tips

In bad weather, the event may be canceled or postponed, so check official announcements from Hokuei on the day. After the event, parking and nearby roads get crowded, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow a bit before leaving. The sand dunes are very dark at night, so illuminate your path with a flashlight for safety.

Best time to visit

Timed with the 19:00-20:00 show time. Secure your spot 30 minutes before the start.
