Why You Should Visit
A summer fireworks show in Hamasaka, Shin-Onsen, held alongside the Kawashimo Festival, one of Tajima's three great festivals. Staged on Hamasaka Kenmin Sun Beach on the Sea of Japan, it lights the night sky with around 3,000 shells in a typical year. Highlights include a powerful 25-round rapid fire of large shells and over-water fireworks mirrored on the sea — a view only a seaside venue can offer. Food stalls line the area, making it an easy evening outing in a yukata. A great pick for families and travellers who want a proper fireworks show on the San'in coast.
