This fireworks festival takes place at Kikugahama on August 1 each year. At this beautiful location overlooking the Sea of Japan, approximately 7,000 fireworks will light up the night sky. Visitors can enjoy them up close and experience the loud booms as they go off. It’s so impressive to watch fireworks from the beach with no obstacles in the way!

A traditional Hagi event takes place on August 3: a parade featuring the Ofunauta, a traditional song that has been designated an intangible folk cultural property by Yamaguchi Prefecture. The song is performed aboard a wooden boat eight meters long and two meters wide that is modeled after the official pleasure boat of the old Hagi domain. Extremely vivid waves and dragons are painted on both sides of the boat. Local residents ride the boat and perform this traditional song that has been passed down from generation to generation. The parade also includes portal shrines and dance floats that make their way through the city.
