2026 Tamano Minato Matsuri Fireworks Festival: A Full One-Day Course

Centered on the Tamano Minato Matsuri Fireworks Festival held on Sunday, August 2, 2026, this course lets you enjoy the Uno Port area of Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, for a full day. At midday, dip your feet into the calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea for a swim at Shibukawa Beach (渋川海水浴場), and enjoy time with the animals at the neighboring Shibukawa Zoo (渋川動物公園). In the afternoon, stroll around Uno Port (宇野港), known as the gateway to the Naoshima (直島) ferry route, taking in the art pieces scattered around the port at a leisurely pace. After enjoying dinner and shopping in front of Uno Station (宇野駅), return in the evening to Uno Port Pier 1 (宇野港第1突堤), the fireworks venue, to claim your spot. As night falls, about 3,000 fireworks launch one after another over the calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea. This one-day plan unique to Tamano packs in swimming, a zoo, port-town art, and summer fireworks all at once.
