Why You Should Visit

A marine fireworks display at Himeji Port (Shikama area), with over 10,000 shells planned — the largest in the event's history and the biggest in Hyogo Prefecture. Pyrotechnicians from Omagari, one of Japan's three great fireworks festivals, stage a special show, and large shakudama shells are also planned. Fireworks launch from a barge about 300 meters from the viewing area, so the impact up close is the main draw. Seating is greatly expanded to 35,000 seats, all paid and reserved; ticket details will be announced on the official site.
