Summary

Mitane's Kamayahama Beach in Akita hosts the offshore fireworks show tied to the Mitane Sand Craft 2026 sand-sculpture event on July 25, 2026. From 20:00, roughly 5,000 shells light the sky over the Sea of Japan-facing beach for 30 minutes. The organizer counts an expected audience of about 14,000, with the venue just 10 minutes by car from Yataryu IC.

Overview

Mitane Sand Craft 2026 turns Kamayahama Beach into a gallery of sand sculpture, and its program includes a seaside fireworks show. On July 25, 2026, about 5,000 shells go up from 20:00 to 20:30 over the open, Japan Sea-facing beach. Watching from the sand with the whole sky overhead gives the evening an easy, resort-like feel. A taxi from JR Moritake Station takes about 20 minutes, and drivers reach the beach in roughly 10 minutes from Yataryu IC on the Akita Expressway, with around 1,100 free parking spaces planned. Even at night the sea breeze carries a chill, so a light jacket helps. Program details and the day's schedule are posted on the official site of the organizer, the Mitane Town Sand Craft executive committee.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

The show starts at 20:00; arriving 30–45 minutes early secures a good spot on the sand. Sand-sculpture programs draw crowds from daytime, so claim your place early even with an evening arrival.

With kids

With a swimming beach as the venue, children gravitate toward the water. After dark it's harder to keep watch, so have them view from away from the waterline. The daytime sand-sculpture activities make the event family-friendly from morning onward.

Photography tips

Shooting from the Japan Sea-facing beach rewards compositions that include the horizon. Pair daytime shots of the sand sculptures with the evening fireworks for a full record. Sea wind and sand are hard on gear — bring lens-cleaning supplies and protection.

Payment

Viewing is free, with around 1,100 free parking spaces planned. Food and drink are at your own expense; check with the organizer about any fees for sand-sculpture activities.
