Although summer is usually the season for fireworks in Japan, this Shonan festival breaks away from tradition with two captivating fireworks events in October. The 20-minute fireworks shows are scheduled for Saturday October 7 and Friday October 20, starting at 6.30pm.
You can expect approximately 900 rockets of colourful bursts, launched against the silhouette of the nearby Enoshima Island. The nighttime seascape makes for the perfect backdrop for this explosive showcase.
To catch the show, park yourself at the Katase Nishihama beach on the mainland.
