The 67th Susaki Festival Maritime Fireworks Festival Vivid red large-bloom fireworks blooming in the night sky
Susaki's Marine Fireworks Festival lights up Fujigahama beach in Susaki, Kochi, on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 20:00 to 21:00 with around 2,000 shells. Alongside 2-shaku giants and star-mines, underwater fireworks trace arcs of light across the surface — a signature of a sea-borne show. The festival starts earlier in the day with sailing experiences and dragon-canoe races, drawing about 25,000 visitors. Traffic controls run 6–10 p.m.; JR Susaki Station is a 10-minute walk away and 1,100 free parking spaces are on hand.
Set on Fujigahama at the head of Susaki Bay, the display pairs 2-shaku giants and star-mines with underwater shells that open just above the surface, laying arcs of light across the water. Around 2,000 shells rise with barely a pause, filling the bay's open frame with glow. The festival gets going well before dark: sailing experiences and dragon-canoe races bring the water to life in the daytime. JR Susaki Station is a 10-minute walk from the beach, and drivers reach it in about 5 minutes from the Susaki-Higashi interchange — though traffic controls take effect from 6 to 10 p.m. Food stalls gather from the evening, and 1,100 free parking spaces serve the area.
