2026 Kumihama Bay Marine Fireworks Festival: Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Kumihama Bay Marine Fireworks Festival (久美浜湾海上花火大会), held on Sunday, August 9, 2026, for enjoying the nature and culture of the Kumihama area of Kyotango City to the fullest. Kumihama Bay (久美浜湾) is a tranquil inlet separated from the Sea of Japan by a sandbar, welcoming visitors with calm water surrounded by green mountains. At midday, pray for safe travels at Ana-Monju (穴文殊) (Nariai-san, Monju-do), overlooking Kumihama Bay, while taking in the full view of the bay; in the afternoon, enjoy local ingredients and shopping at Roadside Station Tenki Tenki Tango (道の駅 てんきてんき丹後), near the border with Hyogo Prefecture. In the evening, return to the beach at Kumihama Park (久美浜公園) for an unhurried meal while watching the bay's evening calm. As night falls, about 1,500 fireworks bloom one after another over the bay, their colors reflected on the still water coloring Kumihama's summer night. This is the definitive summer plan for Kyotango, letting families fully enjoy Tango's nature and fireworks over the sea.
