Sea of Kyoto Miyazu BAY Fireworks 2026 — Fireworks (sky lanterns) launched from the illuminated Amanohashidate beach
The confirmed fireworks launch dates for this festival are listed below.
Miyazu City in Kyoto Prefecture stages the Umi no Kyoto Miyazu BAY fireworks on five summer dates in 2026 — July 18, 24, 25 and August 1, 8 — each launching 75 to 150 shells at 20:30 for about five minutes. The sand beach of Amanohashidate offers a view of every date's show, with the famous pine sandbar and Miyazu Bay framing the bursts. Amanohashidate Station on the Kyoto Tango Railway is a five-minute walk from the venue.
Each show is brief but dense: shells rise over the bay in about five minutes, and the Amanohashidate beach remains open to viewers on all five dates, making it easy to fit the show into a longer trip along the Sea of Kyoto coast. The venue sits in the Monju district by the sandbar, five minutes on foot from Amanohashidate Station and about 10 minutes by car from the Miyazu-Amanohashidate interchange on the Kyoto Jukan Expressway. Parking exists nearby, though capacity and details should be confirmed on the official site. Summer evenings around the beach get busy, so plan dinner and arrival with time to spare — the pines and the water make the short display unusually photogenic.
