2026 Tsukumi Port Festival Fireworks: A Full-Day Course
This full-day course puts the Tsukumi Port Festival Fireworks (つくみ港まつり花火大会), held on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at its center, letting you enjoy Tsukumi City (津久見市) in Oita Prefecture from midday onward. In the afternoon, stroll leisurely along Tsukumi's coastline and past the spectacular white limestone slopes born of the rias coastline, savoring local flavors along the way. In the evening, move to the area around Tsukumi Port (津久見港) to secure a spot, then wait for the show to start while feeling the sea breeze. As the sun sets, large fireworks bloom one after another in the night sky over the port, and bands of light reflected on the water color the summer night. This course lets families enjoy close-up, powerful fireworks unique to a small port town facing the Bungo Channel (豊後水道), at a relaxed pace. Known as 《a town of mandarin oranges and limestone》, Tsukumi stirs the traveler's heart with its distinctive industrial scenery and ocean views. Be sure to enjoy the port festival's fireworks as the finishing touch to a summer day spent in Oita's Tsukumi.
