Enjoy Kushiro's Famous Robatayaki and Fresh Seafood for Pre-Fireworks Meal

About this spot

Kushiro is said to be the birthplace of robatayaki, and from near Kushiro Station to the area around Nusamai Bridge, there are many restaurants serving robatayaki and fresh seafood. Robatayaki—fresh seafood slowly grilled over charcoal—is a traditional local food culture you should definitely experience when visiting Kushiro. Since September nights in Kushiro can be quite cold, it's important to warm yourself with a hearty meal before viewing the fireworks.

Date & time: 9/12 (Sat) 19:00–

Venue: 釧路川河口付近・釧路市

Shells: approx. 10,000

釧路大漁どんぱく花火大会は、釧路川河口付近を会場に約10,000発が打ち上げられる、北海道を代表する大規模な花火大会です。川の水面に映り込む花火の光が二重の絶景をつくり出し、海に近い河口ならではの開放的なロケーションで花火が夜空いっぱいに広がります。9月の釧路の澄んだ夜空は透明度が高く、花火の色彩が鮮やかに映えます。フィナーレに向けて連続して打ち上がる約10,000発の迫力は圧巻で、北海道の秋夜にふさわしいスケールの大きな締めくくりです。

Tips

観覧は河口付近の河川敷や周辺の広場から。会場周辺は開始前から混雑するため、19時の開始30分前には場所を確保しておきましょう。9月の釧路の夜は気温が10度前後まで下がることがあるので、防寒着は必須です。終了後は周辺道路が渋滞するため、車の場合は時間差で移動を。公共交通機関の最終便も事前に確認しておきましょう。

Restaurants are scattered throughout the area from near Kushiro Station to around Nusamai Bridge. On the festival day's evening, congestion is expected, so arriving early around 4 PM or making a reservation in advance is recommended. After the meal, you can walk to the Kushiro River mouth viewing area. Be sure to dress warmly at this point.
