The 49th Yumigahama Fireworks Festival You can leisurely enjoy the launched fireworks on the beautiful bow-shaped sandy beach
The Yumigahama Fireworks Festival takes place offshore of Yumigahama Beach in Minami-Izu Town, Shizuoka, on Saturday, August 8, 2026, launching about 900 shells over 20 minutes from 20:00. Because the launch site sits right in front of the beach, huge blossoms open almost overhead. Star mines, maritime fan chrysanthemums and set pieces color the night, drawing about 16,000 visitors; parking is about 300 spaces with a 500-yen contribution fee.
The 49th Yumigahama Fireworks Festival is scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 20:00 to 20:20, staged offshore of Yumigahama, a scenic beach chosen among Japan's Top 100 Beaches, in Minami-Izu Town, Shizuoka. About 900 shells — star mines, maritime fan chrysanthemums and set-piece fireworks — wash the shore in light, and the event draws about 16,000 visitors a year. Watching from so close to the launch point is the great appeal here. Take the Tokai Bus bound for Irozaki-Koko from Izukyu-Shimoda Station for about 25 minutes and get off at the Kyukamura stop right by the venue. By car, about 300 spaces are available near the venue for a 500-yen contribution fee, though they fill early on summer Saturdays. Bring a leisure sheet for comfort on the sand, keep children away from the water's edge, and check the Minami-Izu Town Tourism Association for the latest information.
