Yugawara Onsen Marine Fireworks Festival

Summary

Yugawara Town in Kanagawa, famous for its onsen, stages an offshore fireworks display over Yoshihama Beach on August 23, 2026 — about 2,000 shells in 20 minutes from 20:00. The organizer expects around 13,000 visitors, and the venue is a 10-minute bus ride from JR Yugawara Station. Pairing seaside fireworks with a soak in the hot springs is the classic way to spend the day here.

Overview

Yugawara is best known for its onsen, and its summer nights get their own highlight: the offshore fireworks display at Yoshihama Beach. On August 23, 2026, about 2,000 shells go up over the sea between 20:00 and 20:20. Standing on the beach, you feel the sea breeze while waves and fireworks share the soundtrack — and with the event falling in peak swimming season, the seaside atmosphere runs strong. From JR Yugawara Station, the Hakone Tozan Bus toward Manazuru Station takes about 10 minutes to the Umi no Ie stop, right at the venue. Drivers reach the area in about 5 minutes from the nearest interchange on the Manazuru Road, but traffic restrictions close streets around the venue and no parking is provided, so the bus is the sensible choice. Latest details come from the organizer, the Yugawara Town Tourism Division, and the town's tourism site.
