2026 Shimizu Minato Festival Offshore Fireworks Display Full-Day Course
A full-day course celebrating the Shimizu Minato Festival Offshore Fireworks Display on August 2, 2026 (Sunday) as the main event, enjoying the Shimizu area of Shizuoka City from noon onward. The afternoon starts with shopping and dining at Espulse Dream Plaza, and you can fully savor the port town atmosphere while touching on the history and seafood of Shimizu Port. Next, venture out to Miho no Matsubara, where you can experience the spectacular scenery of white sand and verdant pines (a World Heritage site) with a view of Mount Fuji across Suruga Bay. In the evening, secure a spot near Hinodeshutou (Sunrise Wharf) while waiting for the show to begin with the harbor's nighttime scenery. As the sun sets, approximately 10,000 magnificent flowers of fireworks bloom across the night sky of Shimizu Port, illuminating the summer night with the reflection of shimmering light on the sea's surface. A definitive plan for Shimizu's summer that allows the whole family to fully experience the sea breeze and intensity of fireworks unique to a port town, from your very being.
