Izu-Taga Onsen Maritime Fireworks Display

Summary

The Izu-Taga Onsen marine fireworks rise over Taga Bay from the north breakwater of Nagahama Kaihin Park in Atami City, Shizuoka, on August 12, 2026 — every year on the 12th regardless of the weekday, positioned as the welcome fire of the Obon season. About 2,000 shells fill the 20 minutes from 8:20 pm for an expected 8,000–10,000 viewers. Launches sit close to the beach, so bursts open almost directly above the sand, and the finale is a red aerial Niagara. Izu-Taga Station is a 5-minute walk; the 300-space lot charges 1,000 yen by day and goes free from 5:00 to 9:30 pm. No paid seating, no food stalls.

Overview

Obon's welcome fire gives this compact show its calendar slot and its mood: 20 minutes of fireworks that begin as the bay goes fully dark. The beach at Nagahama is the main viewing ground, close enough to the breakwater launch point that the red aerial Niagara in the finale seems to pour directly overhead. Trains make the trip easy — Izu-Taga Station is five minutes away — while drivers should note the temporary lot (Chuo Hiroba) is only partly usable this year due to land reclamation work, so the 300-space lot or public transport is safer. Bring your own food; no stalls are set up.
