The 54th Takeno Marine Fireworks Display

Summary

Takeno's Marine Fireworks Display lights up Takeno Beach in Toyooka, Hyogo, on Thursday, July 30, 2026, from 20:00 to 20:50. With more than half a century of history, the show draws around 28,000 people a year. Because the shells rise from the sea itself, you can watch star-mines spread toward the shore and light shimmering across the water — and feel the boom of the largest shells in your chest. Traffic controls apply nearby, rain cancels the show, and paid special seats are available.

Overview

This maritime tradition on Takeno Beach has run for over half a century, launching its star-mines from barges out on the water so the glow spreads toward the shore and shimmers across the waves. When the largest shells go up, the sound rolls right through you — an experience unique to a beach venue. Traffic controls take effect around the venue on the day, so arriving by train works best: JR Takeno Station is a 15-minute walk away, and 2,000 free parking spaces sit near the beach. Paid special seating is on offer — pair seats with cushioned seating, a table and parking, group seats, sponsor seats and block mat seats. Rain or rough weather cancels the show, so confirm the day's status on the official website.
