Kamogawa Citizen Fireworks Festival — approximately 3,000 vividly colored fireworks launch into the coastal night sky
Kamogawa Citizens' Fireworks Festival lights up Maehara-Yokosuka Beach in Chiba Prefecture on July 29, 2026, from 19:30 to 20:10. About 3,000 shells rise over a shore picked among Japan's 100 Best Beaches, where the arc-shaped Kaihin Promenade allows viewing from anywhere along the sand — just five minutes on foot from Awa-Kamogawa Station.
Set on a gently curving, kilometer-long stretch of sand chosen among Japan's 100 Best Beaches, the show sends up some 3,000 fireworks, large shells opening against the backdrop of the sea. The 2025 edition drew around 45,000 visitors. The Kaihin Promenade footpath follows the whole shoreline, so any spot on the beach works. The venue is a five-minute walk from Awa-Kamogawa Station, making the train the sensible way in; nearby parking capacity and fees remain undetermined, and traffic restrictions apply around the promenade on the night.
