Summary
Around 800 fireworks rise from the Ito coast in Shizuoka on 8 August, closing out the Anjin Festival held in memory of Miura Anjin, diplomatic advisor to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Before the ten-minute display, the Matsukawa lantern floating sends lights drifting down the river through central Ito from 19:30. Ito Station is only a five-minute walk away, and with no parking nearby, arriving by train is the sensible choice.
Overview
The Anjin Festival is Ito's largest annual event, honouring Miura Anjin, who served Tokugawa Ieyasu as a diplomatic advisor. Its closing fireworks run from 20:50 to 21:00 on 8 August, with roughly 800 shells launched from the Ito coast. From 19:30 the lantern floating on the Matsukawa River sets the mood, and the beach venue sits close enough to the station to reach on foot. Displays this short reward early arrival, so stake out a spot about an hour ahead.
