The Kamakura Fireworks Festival is held at Yuigahama Beach, where up to 4,000 fireworks are launched over Sagami Bay on a single July evening. The ocean setting creates a magical atmosphere as coloured shells reflect off the calm summer sea, and spectators spread picnic mats along the sandy shore. The combination of a historic samurai city backdrop and beachside hanabi makes this one of the most distinctive fireworks venues in Kanto.
