2026 Amakusa Hondo Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course

Centered on the Amakusa Hondo Fireworks Festival (天草ほんど花火大会), held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, this full-day course lets you enjoy the coastal charms of Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, from midday onward. Based in the Hondo area, the gateway to Amakusa, you'll touch on World Heritage history at the Amakusa Christian Museum (天草キリシタン館), then enjoy an afternoon of sightseeing around the hill near the museum and Hondo Port (本渡港), feeling the sea breeze. In the evening, have dinner featuring Amakusa's seafood near the venue around Hondo Port, securing a spot early and waiting for the show to start at your leisure. At 8:20pm, large fireworks bloom one after another in the night sky over Hondo Port, and the bands of light reflected on the sea surface create a fantastical scene. This is a special summer day plan for the whole family to fully enjoy Amakusa's sea and fireworks.
