If you want to avoid the crowded mid-summer fireworks calendar, then go to this early summer fireworks festival that takes place over the ocean adjacent to Zushi Beach.
Pro tip: Consider combining a beach day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo and the fireworks festival on a tour for around ¥13,511.
What happens?
There is a paid, ticketed seating area (which actually supports the running of the festival) but you can always be a freeloader and watch from anywhere outside the paid seating area on the beach. During the 45-minute display, 7,000 fireworks will be dispatched into the night sky.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.- 0.9 km from Zushi Station Yokosuka Line (JO14)
