Wakasa Marinepia 2026: Many fireworks beautifully illuminate the night sky and Obama Bay
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.
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.
