2026 Tabira Summer Festival Seaside Fireworks Festival: A Full One-Day Course
Centered on the Tabira Summer Festival Seaside Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, August 29, 2026, this course lets you fully enjoy the history and sea of the Hirado area. During the day, visit Tabira Catholic Church (田平天主堂), known as the westernmost church in Japan, take a break at the roadside station Michi-no-Eki Konchu-no-Sato Tabira (道の駅 昆虫の里・たびら), then cross the Hirado Bridge (平戸大橋) to Hirado Castle (平戸城). In the evening, return to the area around Tabira Port for a meal and to secure a spot, and at night about 2,000 fireworks shells color the sea from around Tabira Port. This is the definitive summer plan for Hirado and Tabira, packing in a historical stroll and seaside fireworks.
