About 4,000 shells color the sea and sky off the East District beach in Maizuru, Kyoto, from 19:30 on July 26. The display takes its name from the local dialect word 'chatta' and includes 'Minna no Hanabi', funded by residents' donations, alongside star-mines. JR Higashi-Maizuru Station is a 15-minute walk, and parking nearby is limited, so public transport is recommended.
The Minato Maizuru Chatta Fireworks Festival launches about 4,000 shells over the East District shoreline on July 26, 19:30–20:10. Named after the Maizuru dialect word 'chatta', the show features 'Minna no Hanabi' — fireworks donated through resident fundraising — as well as star-mines and varied programs over the harbor. From JR Higashi-Maizuru Station the venue is a 15-minute walk, or about 15 minutes by car from Maizuru-Higashi IC. Traffic restrictions apply around the site on the day and parking is limited, so trains are the recommended way in. Arrive about an hour before the start: spots along the beach fill early, and the food stalls mostly take cash.
