Mikuni Port Market (三国港市場)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Mikuni Port, opening at the mouth of the Kuzu River, is a historic port town that has flourished as one of the major fishing ports of the Hokuriku region. Around the port are scattered food stalls and restaurants serving local seafood, where you can fully enjoy Echizen crab, grilled fish, seafood rice bowls, and other Japan Sea delicacies for your pre-fireworks dinner. The late afternoon port, with fishing boats moored and the fragrance of salt mingling with sunset colors, has a distinctive charm. Being within walking distance to the Mikuni Sunset Beach venue, you can walk to the venue after eating. The key to this course is to enjoy a relaxed dinner at a calm establishment rather than relying on crowded street vendors.

Tips

On the fireworks festival day, restaurants around the port are crowded. Aim for an early dinner around 5 PM to minimize wait times. From the port to the Mikuni Sunset Beach venue is approximately 10-15 minutes on foot. Walking to the venue after dinner while securing a spot works smoothly.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes required. Enjoy a leisurely moment before the fireworks while gazing at the sunset over the port.
