Usami Summer Festival Maritime Fireworks Festival A hidden gem festival that allows relaxed viewing
Usami Beach in northern Ito City, Shizuoka, hosts the Usami Summer Festival's offshore fireworks on August 2, 2026 — about 1,000 shells in 20 minutes from 20:00. With 12,000 visitors expected and the venue just 5 minutes on foot from JR Usami Station, the train is the natural way in, and the sand puts you close to the bursts over the water.
The Usami district stretches along the coast north of Ito City, and its summer festival centerpiece is the offshore fireworks show at Usami Beach. On August 2, 2026, about 1,000 shells rise between 20:00 and 20:20, close enough from the sand to feel the launch. Food stalls are planned around the venue, so festival spirit builds well before the first shell. JR Usami Station is a 5-minute walk away. As a beach venue, no parking is provided, and traffic restrictions close surrounding streets on the night — the train is the default plan, with extra time for the crowded ride home. Latest details come from the organizer, the Usami Community Center, or Ito City's tourism site.
