Why You Should Visit
A summer fireworks festival held at Hamasaka Kenmin Sun Beach in Shinonsen Town, in the northern part of Hyogo Prefecture. On Sunday, July 19, 2026, around 3,000 fireworks will be launched from the breakwater of Hamasaka Port between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Highlights include offshore star mines and a run of large shells set against the sea. The big draw is the openness of lying back on the sand and gazing up at the night sky. Food stalls line the road in front of the venue from the afternoon, adding to the festival mood.
