The 73rd Nou Furusato Maritime Fireworks launch from around Nou Benten Rock offshore in the Nou district of Itoigawa City, Niigata, from 19:30 on Saturday, August 1, 2026. As the climax of the Nou Grand Summer Festival, about 2,000 shells light up the sea and sky, drawing about 15,000 visitors. Nou Station is a 15-minute walk, with about 500 free parking spaces combined at Nou Fishing Port and the Michi-no-Eki Marine Dream Nou.

Overview

Organized by the Nou Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the 73rd Nou Furusato Maritime Fireworks run from 19:30 on Saturday, August 1, 2026, around Nou Benten Rock offshore of the Nou district in Itoigawa City, Niigata. As the finale of the Nou Grand Summer Festival, about 2,000 shells set the sea surface and night sky glowing as one, and the event draws about 15,000 visitors each year. Nou Station on the Tokimeki Railway Nihonkai Hisui Line is a 15-minute walk; by car it is about 5 minutes from the Nou IC on the Hokuriku Expressway. About 500 free parking spaces in total are provided at Nou Fishing Port and the Michi-no-Eki Marine Dream Nou. Paid seating is available — see the Niigata Prefecture tourism event page for prices. As the venue faces the sea, the evening breeze can be cool, so a light jacket helps, and keep children well away from the water's edge.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 30–45 minutes before the start. Along the coast, viewing spots facing the offshore launch site start filling early. Nou Station is a 15-minute walk away, and free parking (about 500 spaces total) is provided at Nou Fishing Port and the Michi-no-Eki Marine Dream Nou, though arriving early on festival day is the safer bet.

Best viewing spots

Because the launch site sits over the water, the viewing area stretches broadly from the beach by Nou Station to around the fishing port. Spots facing the offshore Benten Rock are especially recommended, and the reflections on the sea add to the show.

With kids

The venue faces the sea, so keep children in sight and away from the water's edge at the port and beach. Crowds grow when the summer festival activities and the fireworks viewing overlap, so agree on a meeting point.

Photography tips

Photos with phones and cameras are freely allowed. A frame combining the offshore Benten Rock with the fireworks makes a shot characteristic of this festival. Set tripods where they will not block movement along the beach.

Payment

Paid seating is available. For prices and other details, check the Niigata Prefecture tourism event page. Food stalls generally take cash, so have small bills and coins ready. Parking is free (about 500 spaces total).
