What Makes Atami Fireworks Special
Amazing Sound Effects
Atami Bay (熱海湾) is surrounded by mountains on three sides. This special shape creates echo effects when fireworks explode over the sea, making it sound like being inside a huge stadium.
Over 70 Years of History
The Atami Seaside Fireworks Festival started in 1952 (Showa 27). In summer 2025, it will celebrate its 74th year.
Best Viewing Spots
You can enjoy the fireworks from anywhere along the Atami Bay coastline. These places are especially recommended:
Atami Sun Beach (熱海サンビーチ海水浴場) - The main beach area
Around Atami Port (熱海港周辺) - The harbour area
Shinsui Park (親水公園) - A waterfront park
Coastal Promenade (海岸遊歩道) - The seaside walking path
