Oarai Marine Fireworks Festival

This is a fireworks festival held in Oarai town, Ibaraki Prefecture. In 2026, 18,000 fireworks lit up the night sky. Created by Nomura Fireworks, Japan's top fireworks maker and recipient of the Prime Minister's Award the most, the festival captivates audiences with its unprecedented scale and beauty. Of particular note are the traditional yet innovative "five-core fireworks." These fireworks, with five different colors and shapes overlapping and spreading across the sky, are truly works of art.
