The Atami Fireworks Festival is a fireworks display held in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, a famous hot spring resort in Japan.
The Atami Fireworks Festival, which started in 1952, has been held more than 10 times not only in summer but also throughout the year, making it one of Atami’s representative events.
Typical viewing sites for the Atami Fireworks Festival are Atami Sun Beach and Atami Shinsui Park.
Atami Sun Beach
The highlight of the Atami Fireworks Festival is the “Niagara” at finale. (It is called “Niagara” because it is a series of fireworks that are shot off in succession and looks like Niagara Falls.)
Atami Bay, the site of the fireworks festival, is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so the sound of the fireworks over the sea reverberates and is very powerful.
