2026 Sanuki Takamatsu Festival Fireworks: A Full-Day Course

This full-day course centers on the Sanuki Takamatsu Festival Fireworks Display (さぬき高松まつり花火大会), held on Thursday, August 13, 2026, letting you enjoy Takamatsu, the Seto Inland Sea port town, from midday onward. In the afternoon, feel the history of this water castle facing the Seto Inland Sea at Tamamo Park on the Takamatsu Castle Ruins, then enjoy a Sanuki udon lunch around the Nishiki-machi shopping arcade (錦町商店街), Takamatsu's kitchen. Next, take a leisurely stroll through the elegant feudal-lord garden at Ritsurin Garden, one of Shikoku's largest, and in the evening head to Sunport Takamatsu to secure your spot and prepare dinner while enjoying the sea breeze of the Seto Inland Sea. Once the sun sets, roughly 6,000 fireworks launched from Mizushiro-dori will color the night sky and the sea's surface. This is the ultimate summer Takamatsu plan, greedily combining a historic garden with harbor fireworks.
