Summary
Nihonkai Yuhi Hanabi — 'Japan Sea Sunset Fireworks' — fills Niigata City's Nishikan ward on September 5, 2026, sending about 600 shells over a full hour from 19:30 at Araikawa Fishing Port. The long program bridges sunset and starlight over the Japan Sea, with 12,000 visitors expected and access from JR Uchino Station by a 15-minute walk or a 500-yen shuttle.
Overview
The name says it all: Nihonkai Yuhi Hanabi is built around the moment the sun sinks into the Japan Sea. At Araikawa Fishing Port in Niigata's Nishikan ward, about 600 shells go up between 19:30 and 20:30 on September 5, 2026 — a measured hour that lets the sky's changing colors do some of the talking. Food stalls make the pre-show hour easy to pass, and an expected 12,000 visitors fill the harbor. JR Uchino Station is a 15-minute walk away, or about 5 minutes by the 500-yen shuttle bus. The roughly 300 parking spaces cost 3,000 yen per car and are sold only in advance through Ticket Pia — no day-of sales — so the organizer urges public transport for anyone without an early purchase. Latest details live on the organizer's official site.
