津花火大会 Tsu-hanabi-taikai Tsu Fireworks Display

Jp En


Tsu fireworks display is held in Akogiura Beach in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture in late July every year. First held in the Edo period, it has changed its form with the times. Although it was discontinued during World War II, it was revived from 1950 onwards.

Taking advantage of the location, distinctive methods of shooting up fireworks are employed here. Numerous starmines are shot up one after another in a very short time from the boats, which float right in front of the spectators’ seats, keeping the safe distance. They are not only gorgeous but overwhelming itself.

The most spectacular display is “Kaijo-jibaku Hanabi (the offshore self-burst fireworks), in which ball-shaped fireworks are thrown into the sea one after another from the boat running at full speed and they bloom into large circular shapes and spread colorful petals all over the sea surface. You will never forget the beauty of their rich colors like peacocks spreading their tails.
