Autumn Atami Marine Fireworks Festival: Fireworks blooming in the autumn night sky are dynamically staged
The confirmed fireworks launch dates for this festival are listed below.
Atami's over-the-sea fireworks have been a fixture of the hot-spring town since 1952, and autumn 2026 offers five separate chances: September 13, October 12 and 25, November 8 and 23, each a 20-minute, roughly 3,000-shell show from 20:20. The bowl-shaped bay, ringed by mountains, rebounds the concussions like a stadium while the water mirrors every burst — sound and light in double. Watching is free anywhere along the coast.
Atami Station to the bay is a 15-20 minute walk. Sun Beach's sand commands the fullest view of the bay and is the local pick; the first block of the seaside park fills earliest. In 2026 no paid seats are being installed at all — every autumn show is open viewing along the coast. About 15 stalls line the waterfront park each show day, with food-and-drink stands planned from 15:00 to 21:00 on show days April through December. Shows go ahead in rain. The series counts 2026 as its 75th year. Because the venue sits inside a hot-spring resort, an overnight stay makes it easy to combine baths, dinner and fireworks unhurried. Allow about 20 minutes on foot between the station and Sun Beach.
