I can confirm that August 14th is the day (Itsukushima Island)

# Fireworks Display - August 14

* The largest fireworks display in western Japan is launched in front of Itsukushima Shrine.
Itsukshima Shrine Fireworks Festival Hiroshima


This site says it takes place between 7 PM and 9 PM, so you'll probably want to spend the night on the island to see it all.
