What this is
SBI Maihana Fireworks is a large-scale summer fireworks display held at Sennan Long Park along the Osaka coastline. The event is a reimagined take on Osaka's long tradition of summer hanabi festivals, offering a premium experience with paid reserved seating for optimal viewing. Sennan Long Park's beachside setting provides a dramatic backdrop, with fireworks launched over the water for maximum visual impact. It represents the modern evolution of Japan's beloved hanabi culture — blending traditional pyrotechnic artistry with a more organized, ticketed event format.
Who should go
This event is ideal for couples, families, and anyone who wants to experience a classic Japanese summer tradition in a comfortable, organized setting. The reserved seating format makes it particularly appealing for those who prefer to avoid the scramble for space that characterizes many free fireworks events. Visitors looking for an authentic summer matsuri atmosphere without the extreme crowds of Osaka's largest festivals will find this a great fit. Book tickets well in advance as reserved seating for popular hanabi events in the Osaka area sells out quickly.
Good to know
Tickets for this event are likely sold through major Japanese ticketing platforms such as eplus.jp or pia.jp — both accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Sennan Long Park is an outdoor coastal venue, so bring insect repellent and a small folding fan or uchiwa for the heat before the fireworks begin. Cash is recommended for any food stalls or vendors on site, as smaller festival vendors typically do not accept cards. Arrive at least 60–90 minutes before the start time to clear entry checks and find your reserved seat without rushing.
