The story
About fifteen nights a year, Atami fires its fireworks over the bay, and the hills on three sides throw the sound back like a stadium. Watch from the deck, glass in hand, as the shells bloom above the town's lights; or go down to the water with your host, by car or by train, and feel the finale, the silver Daikuchu Niagara, in your chest. The next shows are 23 November, 6 December and 25 December. It's free for guests.
Atami has sent fireworks up over its bay since 1952. The bay is ringed by hills, so the sound comes back off them like a stadium. From our deck you watch the show up the coast, above the lights of the town. For the full effect, take the short train ride into town with your host, feel the big shells in your chest, and stay for the silver finale, the Daikuchu Niagara.
The bay is ringed by hills that throw the sound back like a stadium. Your host knows where to stand for the silver finale, and the quiet way home.

Atami's bowl of hills on three sides echoes the sound like a stadium; the finale, the Daikuchu Niagara, is a starmine fired from across the whole launch area.
