2026 Iki Island Night Sky Festival: A Full One-Day Course
Centered on the Iki Island Night Sky Festival held on Thursday, August 13, 2026, this course lets you fully enjoy the northern part of Iki, a remote island. In the daytime, browse the island's seafood at Katsumoto Morning Market (勝本朝市), visit the historic Ondake Shrine (男嶽神社), and take in the view of the Genkai Sea from the ruins of Katsumoto Castle (勝本城跡). In the evening, grab a bite around Katsumoto Port and secure your spot, then at night about 2,000 fireworks shells launch from the waters of Katsumoto Harbor, coloring the night sky over the Genkai Sea. It's a quiet, special summer night plan unique to an island surrounded by the sea.
