Summary
The Fukuyama Summer Festival closes on 15 August with roughly 16,000 shells fired over the Ashida River upstream of Ashida Ohashi bridge — a one-hour show watchable from both banks, with sponsor seating near the launch points. Last year drew about 111,000 visitors. The programme follows the 'Niagari Odori' dance contest (13 Aug) and 'Iromaru YOSAKOI' (14 Aug).
Overview
The dual-bank layout gives this display a distinctive feel: wherever you stand along the Ashida, launches rise close by, and the sponsor seats on either bank trade open views for near-and-loud impact. The one-hour, 16,000-shell programme closes the city's three-day festival. Access needs planning: traffic controls blanket the venue area, the guided route is the paid temporary bus from Fukuyama Station (about 20 minutes), and drivers face a paid 3,000-space temporary car park with fees yet to be set. Arriving 1.5–2 hours before the 19:30 start keeps the evening calm.
