2026 Arikawa Ennichi Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course

This is a full-day course centered on the Arikawa Ennichi Fireworks Festival (ありかわ縁日花火大会), held from 9:00 PM to 9:20 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at the Arikawa Port breakwater (有川港堤防) in Shin-Kamigoto Town, Minamimatsuura District. At midday, discover Arikawa's whaling history at the whale-shaped Geihinkan Museum (鯨賓館ミュージアム), then spend a quiet moment at Kashiragashima Church (頭ヶ島天主堂), which is also counted among the components of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the afternoon, stroll around the area near Arikawa Port, and in the evening, pick up dinner by the water and claim your spot. About 350 fireworks shells color the night sky over Arikawa Port, letting families enjoy a calm evening unique to Goto. This is a summer day plan for Shin-Kamigoto Town where you can fully savor both the charm of an island of history and faith and a fireworks display.
