What time does it start and what is it like?

On August 1 it starts at 19:10 and runs about 80 minutes with roughly 5,000 shells. Beyond large shells and star-mines, aquatic fireworks opening on the sea make use of the setting.

It is just off the Ichinomiya IC on the Kujukuri Toll Road, with temporary parking for about 1,000 cars nearby (partly paid, 1,000 yen a day). Traffic controls run roughly 18:00–21:30 on the day; the shuttle bus is the safer option when busy.

How do I get there by train?

A free shuttle bus runs from JR Kazusa-Ichinomiya Station to the venue (about 5 minutes by taxi).

Is it suitable for children?

Viewing is on the sand, so keep children away from the water's edge and in sight. The beach is dark at night, so a set meeting point helps.

Are there food stalls?

Food stalls line the shore. Cash is the norm, so bring small bills; arriving early for dinner is a good plan too.

Summary

A fireworks festival held on August 1 at Ichinomiya Beach in Chosei District, Chiba, at the southern end of the Kujukuri shoreline. Around 5,000 shells are fired over roughly 80 minutes from a 7:10 pm start. Because the venue is a sandy beach facing the Pacific, the program combines large-scale shells, varied starmine sequences and fireworks that open over the water. About 15,000 people attended in 2024. A free shuttle bus runs from Kazusa-Ichinomiya Station, and temporary parking is available near the beach.

Overview

The Ichinomiya Town Noryo Fireworks Festival takes place on August 1 at Ichinomiya Beach in Chosei District, Chiba Prefecture. The beach sits at the southern end of Kujukuri Beach, and watching from the sand with the Pacific spread out in front of you is what sets this event apart. The show starts at 7:10 pm and lasts about 80 minutes, with around 5,000 fireworks: oversized shells, varied starmine runs and fireworks blooming across the sea surface, a program that makes full use of the ocean setting. The 2024 edition drew about 15,000 visitors. Food stalls line the beach, so a comfortable plan is to arrive early, secure a spot and have dinner while you wait. From JR Kazusa-Ichinomiya Station it is about 5 minutes by taxi, and a free shuttle bus runs to the venue. By car, take the Kujukuri Toll Road to Ichinomiya IC, but note that traffic controls apply around the beach from about 6:00 to 9:30 pm on the day. Temporary parking near the beach holds roughly 1,000 cars (some paid, 1,000 yen per day), so the shuttle bus is the safer choice when crowds are expected.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving 30–45 minutes before the 19:10 start still lets you choose a spot. Food stalls line the shore, so coming earlier for dinner and securing a place before the show works well too.

With kids

Viewing is on a sandy beach, so never take your eyes off children near the water's edge. The beach is dark at night, making a pre-agreed meeting point worthwhile.

Photography tips

Photography is free. Reflections on the sea and the aquatic shells over the water are highlights, so frame with the sea in the lower part of the shot; be considerate with tripods when busy.

Payment

Shoreline stalls mainly take cash, so bring small bills. Temporary parking covers about 1,000 cars, partly paid at 1,000 yen per day.
