About 5,000 fireworks light up the night sky over Atami Bay. The sound resonates due to the launches within the bay, creating a powerful acoustic effect.

The highlight is the grand finale, Great Sky Niagara, where the reflections of the fireworks on the sea surface create a fantastical landscape. There are many scenic spots, making it a popular fireworks festival for tourists.

The biggest feature of the Atami Fireworks Festival is that fireworks are launched from barges on the sea. This allows the light from the fireworks to reflect on the sea surface, creating a fantastical scene.

You can enjoy beautiful fireworks that adorn the night sea, swaying with the waves.

Atami Bay is located on bowl-shaped terrain.

This terrain allows the sound of the explosions when the fireworks go off to resonate, providing an experience as if the sound is coming at you from all directions.

The echo and realism of the sound are more pronounced than in a typical fireworks festival, creating a powerful experience.

2. Great Sky Niagara

At the finale of the fireworks festival, the Great Sky Niagara display is launched.

The Great Sky Niagara consists of fireworks that are not order-made but are launched from the entire venue, called star mines. Thousands of fireworks are consecutively launched, creating a grand scene as if a massive waterfall is flowing across the sky.

This moment especially captivates all the spectators in the venue, enveloping them in loud cheers.

3. Stalls and Beer Gardens at the Waterfront Park

The nearest station to the Atami Fireworks Festival venue is JR Atami Station.

The fireworks can be viewed along the coastline from Sun Beach to Atami Port.

From JR Atami Station, it takes about 15 minutes on foot to Sun Beach and about 20 minutes to Waterfront Park Zone 1.

Due to congestion at Waterfront Park Zone 1, it is advisable to arrive early. Additionally, the Moon Terrace within the Waterfront Park will be closed, so please be aware of this.

There are no dedicated parking areas for the fireworks festival, so you will need to use nearby coin-operated parking lots. On the day of the event, parking will be very crowded, and it may take some time to exit due to pedestrian priority when leaving.

If you plan to use parking, it's best to avoid parking lots near the fireworks venue and JR Atami Station, and instead use parking a little farther away.
