2026 Hinase Minato Matsuri Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course
Centered on the Hinase Minato Matsuri Fireworks Festival (ひなせみなとまつり花火大会) held on Thursday, August 13, 2026, this course lets you enjoy a full day of the sea and nature of the Hinase (日生) area in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture. Hinase is a harbor town facing the rich fishing grounds of the Seto Inland Sea, known for oysters and other seafood. In the afternoon, feel the sea breeze on a ferry ride to Kakui-jima Island (鹿久居島) and a stroll through the harbor town, then in the evening fill up on seafood, including the local specialty kaki-oko (oyster okonomiyaki). As night falls, head back to the harbor in front of JR Hinase Station and enjoy 40 minutes of about 2,500 fireworks coloring the Seto Inland Sea night sky. Enjoy a summer night unique to Bizen, where the calm Seto Inland Sea meets summer fireworks.
