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 ¥10,000 or choose this one for ¥12,500.
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.
