Held August 18–20, 2026 (Tuesday to Thursday) on the beach in front of Matsubara Park in the Toi onsen district of Izu City, Shizuoka, this festival fireworks display launches about 2,000 shells every evening from 20:30 to 21:00, with rapid-fire volleys and star mines in varied programs. Each day draws about 15,000 visitors, making it the signature summer event of the Toi onsen district. Across the three days, the special venue plans a grand raffle, taiko performances and market booths, keeping the onsen streets lively from daytime. The venue is a short walk from the Toi Onsen stop on the Tokai Bus (about 50 minutes from Shuzenji Station); by car it is about 55 minutes from the Numazu IC via the Izu lengthwise expressway, with about 500 parking spaces. Since the program changes daily, staying multiple nights to catch different shows is part of the fun. Check the Toi branch of the Izu City Tourism Association for the latest details.
