Enjoy local fish cuisine at a restaurant near the station and fuel up well before the fireworks
About this spot
Shingu is a port town facing Kumano Bay, known as a food destination where saury, mackerel, and other local fresh fish are abundantly caught. Various local restaurants are scattered around the station area, and before the fireworks festival in the evening, there is still room to dine. Saury sushi is a signature local specialty dish of Shingu, available at local restaurants and souvenir shops throughout the city. After a substantial dinner to build your strength, the long evening of viewing will be more enjoyable. On the day of the fireworks festival, the area begins to get crowded from early evening, so dining early is prudent.
Fireworks details
Name: 熊野徐福万燈祭 新宮花火大会
Date & time: 8/13 (Thu) 19:30–21:00
Venue: 新宮市・熊野川河川敷
Shells: approx. 6,000
2026年8月13日(木)19時30分から21時まで、熊野川河川敷から約6,000発が打ち上がる熊野徐福万燈祭 新宮花火大会です。熊野川の川幅を生かしたワイドな打ち上げは、川面に映る光の帯とともに迫力満点。大河・熊野川と熊野の山々を舞台にした自然のスケール感が、都市部の花火大会とは一線を画す感動を生み出します。徐福伝説と熊野の霊場文化を背景に持つ祭りの花火として、1日かけて熊野を巡ってきた1日の記憶と重なり合う、忘れられない夏の夜になるはずです。フィナーレの連発が夜空を埋め尽くす瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は新宮市の公式発表で確認を。終了後は周辺の道路と駐車場が大変混み合います。JR新宮駅利用の場合、終了後しばらく河川敷で余韻を楽しんでから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめです。帰り道の足元は暗いため、小さなライトがあると安心。翌日8月14日が和歌山県の花火大会の多い時期のため、前後の交通手段も事前に確認しておきましょう。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
The area around JR Shingu Station is the concentrated hub of nearby restaurants within walking distance. On the day of the fireworks festival, congestion is expected, so ideally begin dining by 5 PM. Consider picking up light snacks to take to the embankment. We recommend preparing extra drinks in advance rather than relying on those available near the venue.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours required. Finishing your meal more than an hour before fireworks begin, allowing unhurried movement, is the ideal timing.
