Summary

The Beppu Hino Umi (Sea of Fire) Festival closes with its Noryo Fireworks on July 26, 2026, the final day of the two-day event (July 25-26) in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture. From offshore in Beppu Bay, 8,888 shells fire across 60 minutes — one of the largest displays in the prefecture. Viewing is split into paid and free areas, with pipe chairs in the paid zone. The venue is a 10-minute walk from Beppu Station and has no parking, so arriving by train is the rule.

Overview

The Beppu Hino Umi Matsuri Noryo Hanabi Taikai is held off Beppu Spa Beach in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, on July 26, 2026, closing the two-day Beppu Hino Umi Festival (July 25-26). Over 60 minutes, 8,888 shells rise from offshore in Beppu Bay, in what is regarded as one of the largest shows in Oita Prefecture. Viewing areas are divided into paid and free zones, with pipe-chair seating provided in the paid area. Because the venue faces the bay, securing a position that catches both the bursts and their reflections on the water early in the evening pays off. Beppu Station is a 10-minute walk away, but no parking is provided, so plan to arrive by public transport. With 50,000 visitors expected, the beachfront routes get crowded too.
