The Oarai Maritime Fireworks Festival 2026 will be held again this year!
We have prepared folding chair seating for you.
[The allure of the Oarai Sea Fireworks Festival]
- This year, a record-breaking 20,000 fireworks will be launched! The Oarai Sea Fireworks are launched over the sea, so there are no obstructions to your view, allowing you to fully enjoy the spectacular fireworks exploding overhead.
- Unlike in densely populated areas of Tokyo, where fireworks displays are impossible, these 2-shaku (approximately 60cm diameter) fireworks are launched over the sea, filling the night sky and seemingly enveloping the ocean.
- A solo fireworks display by Nomura Fireworks Industry, which bears the title of Japan's best. Nomura Fireworks Industry, which has won the Prime Minister's Award at the All Japan Fireworks Competition a record 23 times, is one of Japan's leading fireworks companies. Please come and see the overwhelming fireworks that transcend art.
[There are plenty of other things to enjoy besides fireworks]
Over 70 food trucks are scheduled to participate! Highly recommended for food lovers.
Stage shows and other events to further liven up the venue.

The 2026 Oarai Maritime Fireworks Festival, held on the Oarai coast in Ibaraki Prefecture, is one of Japan's largest fireworks events, with approximately 20,000 fireworks illuminating the night sky and sea. Produced entirely by Nomura Fireworks Industry, Japan's top fireworks company, the festival boasts a breathtaking scale, with massive fireworks, some reaching diameters of approximately 500 meters, launched one after another from the unobstructed sea. In addition to its beautiful seaside location, the festival also offers gourmet food and stage events, making it a popular tourist event where you can enjoy a special autumn day.
The green kochia plants at Hitachi Seaside Park are a popular sight that is at its best in the summer. The fluffy, round kochia plants spread across the Miharashi Hill (Miharashi no Oka), turning a vibrant lime green, and the contrast with the blue sky creates a beautiful and soothing landscape.
Mentai Park Oarai is a theme park specializing in mentaiko (spicy cod roe), operated by the long-established mentaiko company "Kanefuku." Visitors can take a factory tour to see the manufacturing process up close, enjoy a food corner where they can sample freshly made mentaiko, and visit a direct sales store offering limited-edition products. It is a popular tourist spot where people of all ages can easily stop by and experience the charm of food, making it a favorite among many travelers.
