Consecutive Nights Fireworks IN Amatsu-Kominato — colorful fireworks soar above the summer sea
Every evening from Saturday, August 1 to Monday, August 17, 2026, about 150 fireworks rise from Kominato fishing port in Kamogawa City, Chiba, at 20:00 for 10 minutes — a nightly ritual easy to fold into any travel itinerary. There is no formal viewing area: spectators settle on whatever beach they like, such as Ura swimming beach near JR Awa-Kominato Station, and watch seated by the sea. The station is a 17-minute walk away, with free parking for about 130 cars nearby.
A tiny display — just 10 minutes a night — is precisely what makes this one workable for travelers. After dusk, some 150 shells rise over Kominato fishing port, blending with the harbor lights and the sound of waves to color the summer night. Because the show repeats nightly, missing one evening costs nothing, and both locals and visitors drift down to the shore to watch. Viewing is free-seating: pick a spot on the sand, Ura swimming beach included. The venue is a 17-minute walk from JR Awa-Kominato Station, or about 70 minutes by car from Kimitsu IC on the Tateyama Expressway, with a free 130-space lot near the station. There are no food stalls, so bring what you need. For cancellations and the latest news, check the Kamogawa City Tourism Association's announcements.
