This festival continues that tradition. In addition to the traditional fireworks, we are also preparing performances that can only be seen here on Itsukushima. In addition to underwater fireworks, you will also be able to see artistic fireworks created by the Japan Fireworks Artists Association. We will continue to work hard right up until the event to ensure that everyone can enjoy the fireworks that symbolize the new Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival. Image

Official website: https://hanabifes.com/itsukushima/ ■What is the Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival? World Heritage Site Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, famous for Itsukushima Shrine, has hosted a fireworks festival for nearly 50 years, centered around “underwater fireworks,” in which fireworks lit on the water are thrown into the water and explode. This fireworks festival was beloved by many, including local residents, but was sadly canceled in 2019 due to various circumstances. With the desire to pass on this “underwater fireworks” tradition to the next generation, and with the support of local governments and businesses, we have decided to hold a new version of the festival. As the event will mark the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing, fireworks will light up the night sky of Miyajima, symbolizing “prayers for peace,” “the continuation of the traditional culture” of fireworks, which have been loved throughout Japan since the Edo period, and the hope for further “regional revitalization” of Hiroshima Prefecture. Furthermore, we have welcomed Shingo Murakami, who has roots in Hiroshima Prefecture, as the official ambassador of the event, to help liven up the event. ■Overview of “Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival” Launch Date and Time: Saturday, October 18, 2025, 6:15 PM – 6:45 PM (scheduled) Location: Offshore Miyajima Launch Scale: 2,500 shots (launch lasting approximately 30 minutes) Organized by: Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival Executive Committee Sponsored by: Hatsukaichi City, Hatsukaichi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Hatsukaichi Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Division, Hatsukaichi City Board of Education, Hatsukaichi Tourism Association (General Incorporated Association), Jigozen District Residents’ Association, Hatsukaichi FM 76.1MHz, El Co., Ltd.
