Summary

From 20:00 on Saturday, August 1, 2026, fireworks fill 30 minutes over Wakasa Bay in Obama, Fukui, as part of Wakasa Marine-Pia. Starmine and other varied pieces launch from the Ichimonki breakwater in the Kawasaki district, with the blooms mirrored on the bay's surface — the signature view. JR Obama Station is a 10-minute walk away. Rain does not stop the show; in severe weather it moves to Sunday, August 2.

Overview

A seaside summer event on Wakasa Bay, with the fireworks as its highlight. Launches come from the Ichimonki breakwater in the Kawasaki district, and starmine runs spread varied patterns over the bay — with the reflection on the water doubling the show. The venue sits close to downtown, a 10-minute walk from Obama Station, which favors arriving by train. Temporary parking offers both free and paid sections but is limited. Rain does not stop the display, and in severe weather it postpones to Sunday, August 2 — check the official website when the forecast looks doubtful. Food stalls are set up on site.

Info for International Visitors

Rain policy

Held rain or shine. In severe weather it is postponed to the next day, Sunday, August 2. Check the official website for the latest information.

Best arrival time

The display starts at 20:00, so be at the bay-side viewing area by 19:15–19:30. It is a 10-minute walk from JR Obama Station, and the route from the station fills with people. Temporary parking has both free and paid sections but is limited — coming by train is the safer choice.

With kids

At the bay-side venue, keep children away from the water's edge. Since postponement is possible, leave some flexibility in your plans for the day.

Photography tips

The fireworks reflect on the open bay water, so compositions that include the horizon work well. The quay is dark at night — bring a light and choose tripod spots carefully.

Payment

Viewing is free. Food stalls are cash-based, so carry some coins. Parking has both free and paid sections.
