What time do the fireworks start?

No start time is published in the listings — please confirm the latest launch time on the official site.

There is no parking by the venue. Temporary free car parks open around the city, but public transport is recommended — Ito Station (JR and Izu Kyuko) is a five-minute walk away.

Where can I buy paid viewing seats?

Nagisa Park offers 2,000 paid seats at ¥3,000 each, purchasable at the Ito City Tourist Information counter.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, but the coastal venue means watching both the water's edge and the crowds. Keep children within sight, set a meeting point, and prepare for the loud sound of nearby launches.

Can I photograph the fireworks?

Photography is unrestricted. With five sea launch points, your position changes the view — and catching the sea's reflections adds atmosphere to any shot.

Summary

The finale of Ito's Anjin Festival — honouring Miura Anjin (William Adams), the foreign advisor to Tokugawa Ieyasu with deep ties to Ito — lights up the Ito coast on 10 August. For the 80th staging in 2026, the count rises above recent years to some 20,000 shells from five offshore launch points; last year's crowd was 180,000. Paid seats: 2,000 at Nagisa Park, ¥3,000 each, sold at the Ito City Tourist Information counter.

Overview

The whole of Ito's shoreline becomes the viewing ground for this sea-launched display, five minutes' walk from Ito Station. The 80th-anniversary boost to 20,000 shells gives the programme extra weight, and with launches split across five offshore points, every stretch of the coast offers a different face of the show. There is no parking at the venue, so the train is the plan, with temporary free car parks arranged around the city. Arrive 1.5–2 hours ahead to claim a good coastal spot, and note that no fixed start time is listed — confirm the schedule on the official site before setting out.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 1.5–2 hours before the start (check the official site for the exact launch time). Good spots along the coast fill early. There is no parking by the venue, so come by public transport — including the temporary free car parks — or walk the five minutes from Ito Station.

Best viewing spots

Launch points spread across five positions at sea. The 2,000 paid seats at Nagisa Park secure you a set vantage if bought early — and where you stand along the shoreline changes the whole picture, which is part of the fun here.

With kids

The venue is the open coast, so mind both the water's edge and the crowds. Keep children within sight and set a meeting point in advance — and watch your footing once the beach goes dark.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are fine, but tripods and monopods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff first. With five launch points at sea, your vantage position changes the picture considerably — that is the key to shooting here.

Payment

Paid seating at Nagisa Park offers 2,000 places at ¥3,000 each, bought at the Ito City Tourist Information counter. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry coins too.
