Why You Should Visit
In the bay at Ine, famous for its funaya boathouses, about 1,300 shells rise from a barge moored at its centre. The sight is particular to Ine: the boathouse lights and the fireworks reflected together on the water. Around the show, the funaya are lit with lanterns for the "Naminarie", and a film is screened on a floating screen. This 40th edition falls on 29 August, and general viewing is free.
