Gather Echizen Seafood and Souvenirs, Grab a Light Bite Before Dinner
About this spot
A roadside station positioned roughly in the center of the Echizen Coast along Route 305, offering a wide selection of local products including Echizen crabs, dried fish, and Echizen lacquerware. The restaurant features menus using fresh seafood from Echizen, and can serve as an evening meal substitute before the fireworks. The facility's location offers views of the Sea of Japan and the bustle of the fishing port. It's within approximately 5 to 10 minutes by car from Echizen Fishing Port Plaza (Hamahirugas Park), making it easy to incorporate into your route as a final stop before the fireworks. As tourists are expected to gather on the fireworks day, it's reassuring to complete your souvenir shopping at this time.

Date & time: 7/18 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 越前町・越前漁港広場(はまひるがお公園)

越前漁港広場(はまひるがお公園)を会場に繰り広げられる越前みなと大花火は、約13,000発の花火が日本海の夜空を彩る越前町夏の一大イベントです。目の前に広がる日本海をバックに打ち上がる花火は遮るものがなく、スターマインやワイドスターマインが夜空いっぱいに開く様子は迫力満点。波音が花火の轟音に重なり、潮の香りの中で見上げる花火は、都市部の花火大会とはまったく異なる海辺ならではの体験です。フィナーレの連続打ち上げが漁港の夜空を埋め尽くす瞬間は、この1日最大のクライマックスです。
Tips
開催日は2026年7月18日(土)で時間は公式発表をご確認ください。荒天時の開催可否は越前町の公式発表で確認を。終了後は周辺道路や駐車場が大変混雑するため、花火終了後しばらく会場でゆっくりしてから移動するのがおすすめです。帰りの足元が暗くなるので、スマートフォンのライト機能を活用してください。
Tips
Approximately 5 to 10 minutes by car from Echizen Fishing Port Plaza. The parking lot is spacious, but may be crowded on the evening of the fireworks festival. Fresh seafood requires a cooler bag for transport. Arriving early around 4 PM to avoid meal rush hour will make shopping smoother.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. The time before evening is relatively calm, allowing for leisurely shopping.
