2026 Grand Mercure Summer Vacation Fireworks: A Full One-Day Course

This course centers on the Grand Mercure Summer Vacation Fireworks (グランドメルキュール 夏休み打上げ花火), held on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, and lets you enjoy a full day in the Cape Zanpa area, one of the most scenic spots on Okinawa's main island. At midday, get a feel for Ryukyu history at the World Heritage Zakimi Castle Ruins (座喜味城跡), and in the afternoon, experience Okinawa's pottery culture at Yachimun no Sato (やちむんの里). Enjoy the blue sea and white sand at Chura SUN Beach (美らSUNビーチ), and in the evening, take in a stunning view of the East China Sea from the cliffs and lighthouse of Cape Zanpa (残波岬). At night, have dinner around the resort while waiting for the fireworks, which launch into the night sky over the resort for about 5 minutes starting at 20:15. This is the definitive Okinawan summer plan, packing in both a stroll through Ryukyu history and the open, liberating feel of a beach resort.
