Savor Fresh Seafood from the Sea of Japan with Seafood Rice Bowls and Grilled Fish

About this spot

Known as Japan's largest seafood direct sales market on the Sea of Japan side, this is Maizuru's premier food destination. Fresh seafood landed at local ports—including crab, sweet shrimp, yellowtail, and mackerel—lines the shelves in abundance, and the food court inside the market offers fresh seafood rice bowls and grilled fish to enjoy on the spot. The appeal lies in the freshness and reasonable prices of direct-from-source products, offering the authentic atmosphere of a working market that locals also frequent. This is a must-visit spot to combine lunch with light snacking on the day of the fireworks, and souvenirs such as dried fish are also well-stocked. Be sure to have a hearty meal before the evening crowds arrive.

Date & time: 7/26 (Sun) 19:30–20:10

Venue: 舞鶴市・東地区海岸

みなと舞鶴ちゃった花火大会は、舞鶴市・東地区海岸を会場に毎夏開催される港町の夏の風物詩です。穏やかな舞鶴湾の上空へ打ち上がる約4,000発は、リアス式の入り江という地形が音を反響させ、都市部の花火とはひと味違う迫力で楽しめます。湾内の静かな水面に花火の光が映り込む幻想的な光景も、海上花火ならではの見どころです。2026年は7月26日(日)19時30分から20時10分まで、約40分間の打ち上げが予定されています。潮の香りと波音の中で家族と並んで見上げる花火は、夏の思い出の1ページにきっとなります。

Tips

荒天・波浪時は中止または延期となる場合があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認してください。終了後は周辺道路が混雑するため、車での帰宅は花火後に少し時間をおいてから移動するのがおすすめです。帰り道は照明が少ないエリアもあるため、スマートフォンのライトで足元を照らしながら安全に移動してください。

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Maizuru Red Brick Park. Parking is complete. Congestion is expected from late afternoon onward on the fireworks festival day, so it's best to finish lunch during this time. Souvenir items like dried fish and bottled goods are convenient to carry with a cooler bag.
