Innoshima Suigun Festival - Island Fire Festival
🎇 Giant torches burning in the dark night and 'Porno Graffitti song collaboration fireworks' The valiant departure of armored warriors and moving finale fireworks
The grand event that marks the climax of the Innoshima Suigun Festival. Warriors clad in armor gather on the night beach, and the mysterious and valiant sight of giant torch flames burning is like a time slip to the Sengoku period. After the 'Chorakumai' performance, the finale features large-caliber fireworks synchronized with songs by the super popular artist 'Porno Graffitti', who hails from Innoshima, bringing the venue's excitement to its peak.

This is a fireworks display held at Ikuchijima's beautiful Sunset Beach at the end of summer (early September). In addition to approximately 3,000 fireworks, the spectacular 'Niagara Fireworks', spanning 300m, scattering sparks across the sea, is a must-see. A supreme relaxing experience awaits, watching the fireworks while lying on the sand with the cool autumn night breeze.
