About this spot

Tsukumi Port (津久見港) is the main venue for tonight's fireworks display and the heart of the port festival, lined with festival food stalls. From evening onward, the stalls come alive in earnest, and you can enjoy dinner wrapped in the port's sea breeze. Spread your leisure sheet along the quay to claim a spot while picking up festival favorites like yakisoba and takoyaki. The time when the sunset over the Bungo Channel (豊後水道) illuminates the bay has a beauty unique to this spot before the fireworks. As the day grows dark, the crowds grow and the festival's excitement builds, which is also an important part of the port festival experience.

Tips

About a 10-to-15-minute walk from Tsukumi Station (津久見駅). Parking lots get crowded from the evening of the fireworks festival, so public transportation or arriving early to park is recommended. Assume there will be lines at the food stalls, so get your food early. Check the location of restrooms while it is still light out. Check the latest information on whether the event will proceed via Tsukumi City's official announcements.
