Summary

The Itoigawa Fireworks Festival takes place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Oumi Seaside Park in Itoigawa City, Niigata, on the Sea of Japan coast. From 20:00 to 20:30, about 800 fireworks rise over the open water, with a lawn where you can spread a sheet and watch close up. The event draws around 18,000 visitors a year, and food stalls add to the festival mood.

Overview

Held at Oumi Seaside Park in Itoigawa City, Niigata, this display is organized by the Oumi Festival Executive Committee and runs from 20:00 to 20:30 on Saturday, July 25, 2026. About 800 shells go up against the backdrop of the Sea of Japan, including vivid star mines, drawing roughly 18,000 visitors each year. From JR Itoigawa Station, take the Oumi-bound bus for about 10 minutes (3-minute walk from the Shin-Suzawa stop) or a taxi for about 10 minutes. By car, it is roughly 10 minutes from the Itoigawa IC on the Hokuriku Expressway, with about 200 free parking spaces at the venue.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before the start. Because the venue is a seaside park, the best spots on the lawn start filling up early. Buses and taxis from JR Itoigawa Station get crowded around showtime, and the free lot (about 200 spaces) is expected to fill, so allow extra travel time.

Best viewing spots

The lawn area near the launch site is the main viewing zone. Its signature appeal is that you can spread a sheet and lie back to watch, with fireworks rising over the open sea for good sightlines from a wide stretch of ground.

With kids

The venue sits right by the sea, so keep children away from the water's edge and in sight at all times. With larger crowds later in the evening, agree on a meeting point in case anyone gets separated. A leisure sheet on the lawn lets even small children watch comfortably.

Photography tips

Photography with phones and cameras is freely allowed. The setting suits compositions framed against the sea and horizon. If you use a tripod, please be considerate of people passing by.

Payment

Viewing is free. Food stalls will be on site, but they generally take cash only, so bring plenty of small bills and coins. Parking is free (about 200 spaces).
