The 17th Kushimoto Festival Fireworks
The 17th Kushimoto Festival Fireworks

Fireworks launched from Kushimoto Port in Kushimoto, Wakayama, the southernmost point of Honshu. The launch site and spectator seats are close, so the sense of presence is superb, as if the fireworks burst overhead. The Kushimoto-bushi dance held before the main fireworks is also worth seeing, performed on the road to the venue.

The beautiful fireworks lighting the night sky and sea are worth a look. Fireworks from Kii-Oshima across the sea are also a popular photo spot.

Fireworks: about 4,000
Parking: available
Access: 10 minutes on foot from JR Kushimoto Station. 35 minutes by car from Susami IC.
