Summary
A fireworks show closes the Ashiya Summer Carnival at Uchide-Ashiya Beach in Hyogo from 19:45 on August 1, firing about 6,000 shells under the 2026 theme 'the power to live'. Fire, music and 3D panorama fireworks run in sync. Entry is reservation-only — a seat ticket or citizens' plaza pass is required — and there is no parking in the residential neighborhood; Hanshin Ashiya Station is a 30-minute walk.
Overview
The Ashiya Summer Carnival fills Uchide-Ashiya Beach on August 1, and its finale is a 19:45–20:30 fireworks show of about 6,000 shells — last year the venue counted roughly 30,000 visitors. The 2026 theme is 'the power to live', with fire, music and 3D panorama fireworks synchronized into a single production; stage events and festival stalls run through the day before the show. Entry is completely reservation-based — a paid-seat ticket or citizens' plaza pass is required, so buy ahead. The surrounding neighborhood is residential with no parking: come by public transport and walk 30 minutes from Hanshin Ashiya Station. A cleanup event follows on August 2. Beach viewing space fills early, and tripods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff before setting up.
