Nichinan Sun Marine Stadium Fireworks Festival (within Aburatsu Port) (日南サンマリンスタジアム花火大会(油津港内))

Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, this is the Nichinan Sun Marine Stadium Fireworks Festival, staged within Aburatsu Port. About 10,000 fireworks launch one after another into the night sky over the port, and the bands of light reflected on the calm water's surface create a fantastical scene. The enclosed terrain of the port echoes the sound, letting you experience the fireworks' impact up close in a way that's unique to Aburatsu Port. On this hot tropical Miyazaki summer night, the roughly one hour during which great fireworks repaint the sky shell by shell is a fitting climax to this day's journey.

Fireworks details

Tips

Please check the official announcement for the start time in advance (time not yet decided). Also check official information for whether the event will go ahead in case of severe weather. Afterward, the roads around the venue become very congested, so if driving, it's reassuring to stagger your departure, or to use public transportation. JR Aburatsu Station becomes very crowded after the fireworks end, so check train times in advance. It gets dark underfoot, so make use of a smartphone light.

Best time to visit

Secure your viewing spot early to align with the start time. It's reassuring to settle on a spot 30 minutes before the start.
