Watch the Fireworks over the Calm Bay

About this spot

The October 31, 2026 seaborne fireworks festival marks the autumn finale of Etajima City, famous for the former Imperial Naval Academy. Fireworks launched above the calm Etajima Bay are beautifully reflected on the quiet water surface. The fireworks lighting up the historic island's autumn night have a tranquil charm different from urban fireworks festivals, allowing families to enjoy them leisurely. It's a special night sky display fitting for a time close to the year's end.
