The largest fireworks display in Japan⁉15,000 fireworks will be shot off, the largest number ever!

The Oarai Marine Fireworks Festival has a very long history, having been held already in 1928. Every year, the Oarai Marine Fireworks Festival gets more powerful to entertain the spectators. This year, a record number of 15,000 fireworks will be launched from the Oarai breakwater. The Oarai Marine Fireworks Festival offers not only the big fireworks that light up the night sky, but also the beautiful and fantastic sight of the fireworks reflected on the surface of the sea.
Collaboration of fireworks and boats only on the sea
The fireworks for the Oarai Marine Fireworks Festival are launched by Nomura Fireworks Industry Co. The company is a legend in the fireworks industry, having won the Prime Minister's Award, the highest honor for pyrotechnicians, a whopping 21 times. We hope you will enjoy the impressive and exciting fireworks display by Japan's top pyrotechnicians, such as the "five-layered core fireworks," the musical starmine fused with music, and the huge ring of powerful two-layered balls!
