Shikokuchuo City, renowned as Japan's paper-production capital, holds its port fireworks festival along the Toyo coastal waterfront where the Seto Inland Sea provides a shimmering open canvas for the pyrotechnic display. The combination of the industrial port backdrop, the gentle island-dotted sea horizon, and the large-diameter shells creates a dramatic visual contrast unique to eastern Ehime. Local paper-craft workshops and yosakoi performances are featured in the daytime program preceding the evening fireworks.
