What Makes Atami Fireworks Special

Amazing Sound Effects

Atami Bay 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 2026, it will celebrate its 74th year.

You can enjoy the fireworks from anywhere along the Atami Bay coastline. These places are especially recommended:

• Atami Sun Beach: The main beach area and most popular spot
