Summary
On August 1, 2,300 fireworks launch over Moto-Hakone Bay on Lake Ashi for 20 minutes from 20:00, as the offering display for the grand festival marking the 1,269th year of Hakone Shrine's founding — night two of the Lake Ashi Summer Festival Week. The shrine hosts rites and dedicatory dances through the day before the lake takes over after dark. Buses run about 35 minutes from Hakone-Yumoto Station, stopping right by the shore.
Overview
The grand festival honors the shrine's 1,269 years with rites and dedicatory performances, and the night closes with fireworks from the bay: a 20-minute run of 2,300 shells whose light settles on the lake in front of the crowd. Because the festival week schedules several lake-top displays on different nights, staying multiple nights in Hakone lets you catch more than one. Buses from Hakone-Yumoto Station take about 35 minutes to Moto-Hakone or the Hakone Shrine entrance stop, and 330 paid parking spaces exist nearby, though summer congestion makes public transport the steadier choice.
