2026 Starlight Illusion Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Starlight Illusion fireworks festival held on July 19, 2026 (Sunday), where you can enjoy Wakayama Marina City and its surroundings from afternoon through evening. In the afternoon, stroll through the European-style streets of Porto Europa within Wakayama Marina City and sample fresh seafood at Kurogashio Market. As evening approaches, spend time leisurely in the sea breeze near Wakayama Castle Park overlooking the Kii River estuary, and move to the western breakwater as dusk falls to await the show. The grand fireworks lighting up the night sky above Wakayura Bay paint the summer night with trails of light across the water's surface. This is the definitive Kii summer plan, packed with the excitement of a seaside resort and the emotion of spectacular fireworks.
