Summary

The Memambetsu Water Fireworks take place on the shore of Lake Abashiri in Ozora Town, Hokkaido, on Saturday, August 1, 2026. From 20:00, about 3,000 shells launch over one hour, with water fireworks coloring the lake and star mines filling the night sky. The venue is a 3-minute walk from JR Memambetsu Station and draws about 16,000 visitors, with food stalls lining the area.

Overview

Held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 20:00 to 21:00 at the Memambetsu lakeside of Lake Abashiri in Ozora Town, Hokkaido, this display sends up about 3,000 shells over the lake and sky. The water fireworks that vividly tint the surface are the signature act, and the event draws about 16,000 visitors with many food stalls around the grounds. JR Memambetsu Station is just a 3-minute walk away. By car, it is about 3 hours 35 minutes from the Kamikawa-Sounkyo IC on the Asahikawa-Mombetsu Expressway via National Route 39, and traffic restrictions take effect around the venue from 10:00 on the day. Free parking for about 400 cars is available. Crowds linger late by the lakeside, so allow extra time for the trip home. Check with the Okhotsk Oozora Town Tourism Association for the latest information.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 30–45 minutes before the start. Along the lakeside, spots near the water with the best views of the water fireworks fill first. Traffic restrictions are planned around the venue from 10:00 that day, so if you drive, come early and check the free lot (about 400 spaces).

Best viewing spots

From the lakeside viewing area, you can watch the water fireworks on the lake head-on. Spots close to the water's edge are especially rewarding, letting you take in the light on the surface and the star mines overhead at once.

With kids

At the lakeside venue, keep children in sight and away from the water's edge. Foot traffic grows after dark, so set a meeting point for reassurance. The stall rows get crowded, so hold small children's hands as you move around.

Photography tips

Photos with phones and cameras are freely allowed. Reflections of the fireworks on the lake surface make striking compositions. When using a tripod, set it where it will not block the lakeside walkway.

Payment

Viewing is free. Plenty of food stalls line the venue, but most take cash only, so carry extra small bills and coins. Parking is free.
