39th Kanmon Kaikyo Fireworks Festival
One of western Japan’s leading fireworks festivals, this joint event is held by Moji Ward in Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi, on opposite sides of the Kanmon Strait separating Honshu and Kyushu. Fireworks are launched from both shores, with rapid volleys of large shells and music-synchronized displays on the Moji side, and underwater fireworks and large shaku-dama shells on the Shimonoseki side. Viewing areas are open only to holders of sponsorship tickets.
