Summary

Hikari's 'Niji Hanabi' fireworks light up the Nigagahama bathing beach in Yamaguchi on 25 July, with about 3,000 shells over 45 minutes from 20:00. Smoke fireworks that shift colour as they drift are a signature of the programme, and crowdfunding and donation boxes underwrite the event. JR Hikari Station is five minutes away; the temporary car park (about 1,600 spaces, 500 yen per car) links by free shuttle, while traffic controls close nearby roads from 17:00 to 22:00.

Overview

The Niji Hanabi fireworks spread across the white-sand, pine-fringed Nigagahama beach in Hikari, Yamaguchi, on 25 July, 20:00-20:45, with about 3,000 shells. Colour-shifting smoke fireworks headline the programme, and the event runs on crowdfunding and donation-box support that lets visitors back it directly. JR Hikari Station is a five-minute walk from the sand, and a free shuttle links the temporary car park (about 1,600 spaces at 500 yen per car). Nearby roads close for traffic controls between 17:00 and 22:00, so drivers should weigh both the rules and the shuttle.

FAQ

Access

Approx. 20 min from Sanyo Expressway Kumage IC *Traffic restrictions around the venue on the day (5:00 PM–10:00 PM). Free shuttle bus service planned. Use of public transportation recommended.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive about an hour before the start. People gather on the beach well before dusk. A free shuttle links the temporary car park (about 1,600 spaces, 500 yen per car), and JR Hikari Station is a five-minute walk away.

Best viewing spots

The heart of the viewing area is the Nigagahama beach itself, open right down to the waterline, so a seat on the sand faces the launch sites head-on. For the white-sand-and-pines backdrop in frame, a spot near the pine grove works well.

With kids

The venue is a bathing beach — pick spots away from the waterline and keep children within sight. Traffic controls apply around the venue from 17:00 to 22:00, so plan your way back in advance.

Photography tips

Photography is allowed, but be considerate with tripods in crowded parts of the beach. Shells rise over the sea — including the waves' sheen and the pine grove's silhouette gives the photo its local flavour.

Payment

The temporary car park charges 500 yen per car, so keep some cash handy. Food stalls generally take cash, so bring plenty of small bills and coins.
