Other than the water fireworks, there will be 1-shaku-dama (round fireworks with a circumference of about 12-inch/30cm shells) fireworks which create an illumination 12,598-inch / 320 meters in diameter on the ocean,

2-shaku-dama (round fireworks with a circumference of about 24-inch / 60cm shells) fireworks which create an illumination 17,716-inch / 450 meters in diameter on the ocean and several other kinds of fireworks. For about one hour, about 10,000 of fireworks exploding will light up the sky splendidly.
