The Atami Sea Fireworks Festival has been held since 1952, and the summer of 2024 will mark its 73rd year. In August 1949, the Kitty Typhoon caused high waves that washed away over 140 homes in the coastal area. The following year, the "Atami Station Fire" occurred, and just 10 days later, a massive fire burned down 979 houses in the city center. Following these disasters, local citizens made continuous efforts toward recovery. To reward these efforts and aid in the city's reconstruction, fireworks were launched in 1952, marking the beginning of the festival. Since then, the tradition has been passed down, and it is now held throughout the year, becoming synonymous with Atami.
Highly Praised Even by Fireworks Professionals! Launch Venue with Outstanding Acoustic Effects
There are two main features of Atami's fireworks: the finale, the "Great Aerial Niagara," and the "launch venue." The "Great Aerial Niagara," which crowns the finale of every event, is not a set piece but a star mine launched from the entire venue. Silver fireworks fill the night sky, shining as brightly as midday. It's so beautiful you'll forget to blink... it will definitely move you.
Furthermore, the venue, Atami Bay, is the best fireworks launch site in Japan, highly praised even by fireworks professionals! Because of its "mortar" shaped topography surrounded by mountains on three sides, the sound of the fireworks launched over the sea echoes, creating an acoustic effect like a large stadium. If you watch from near the sea, such as the Shinsui Park, you can feel the sound of large single shots and the "Great Aerial Niagara" vibrating through your body. It's a fireworks display to be experienced, not just seen. Besides this, you can enjoy a fireworks composition unique to Atami that maximizes the venue's potential.

"Shiosai," the Private Bath Closest to the Sea in Atami
Boasting an exceptional location built closer to the sea than the national highway—very rare in Atami—this is the premier infinity bath on the Izu Peninsula. It is the signature private open-air bath of our inn, and many users share its spectacular views on Instagram. Since the ocean is right beneath the tub, please enjoy the contrast woven by the scenery of Atami and the bathwater.
