Secure Viewing Spot and Dinner at Parkland Near the Port, Spend Time in Sea Breezes Until Showtime

About this spot

The parkland adjacent to Wakayama Port is conveniently close to the fireworks festival viewing area and is a popular spot for early spot reservation. In the evening, sea breezes sweep through the park coolly, and as the sun sets, the sky transitions from orange to deep blue. Enjoying dinner procured nearby while spreading it on your sheet as you wait for the show is part of the port festival's appeal. The gathering of local spectators creates an atmosphere unique to the festival's eve. Amid the evening port's air and salt breeze, build your anticipation for the approximately 3,000 fireworks.

Tips

Procure dinner early from Wakayama Marina City or nearby convenience stores for peace of mind. Shops and convenience stores around the venue become extremely crowded just before and after the fireworks begin. For better spot selection, arrive at the parkland around 5 PM. Confirm restroom locations while it's still light.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours 25 minutes required. Enjoy the sky's transformation from sunset to night while waiting for the show.
