Summary

The Fujisawa Enoshima Fireworks returns to Katase Coast's West Beach on October 17, 2026, launching about 1,000 shells from 6:00 p.m. against the silhouette of Enoshima island. An autumn-night crowd of roughly 38,000 spreads across the sand — one of the Shonan coast's signature free gatherings. Food stalls line the beachfront and event parking is arranged; the 6:00 p.m. start pairs naturally with an Enoshima sunset.

Overview

Katase's West Beach, the stretch of sand facing Enoshima island, hosts this autumn fireworks evening on October 17, 2026. The program of roughly 1,000 shells begins at 6:00 p.m., timed so the season's early dusk does part of the staging: the island's silhouette, then color over it. Around 38,000 people attend, spread along a beach that handles crowds better than most venues — sand expands. Viewing is free with no paid tiers; food stalls operate along the promenade, and event parking is arranged, though the coast's roads are the night's real bottleneck, and the organizer — the Fujisawa tourism association — recommends early arrival. Its site posts the definitive schedule. The 6:00 p.m. start means the show ends before the October sea breeze turns bitter.

Highlights

A thousand shells over the silhouette of Enoshima, free on Katase's sand.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving about an hour before the fireworks begin should let you find a viewing spot, though areas near the entrances get crowded. The area around the venue is extremely busy, so build extra time into your plans.

Best viewing spots

The viewing area is the sand of Katase-Kaigan Nishihama beach itself: the fireworks rise above the beach, and you watch with the sea at your back, seated or standing. The sand fills up with spectators, so claim your spot early.

With kids

Watch from a spot away from the water's edge and keep children within sight at all times. With large crowds it is easy to get separated, so agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photography is fine, but be considerate with tripods in crowded areas. The bursts go up close above the beach, so a wide angle that takes in the crowd on the sand works well.

Payment

Food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
