Secure a Spot on the Lawn and Wait for the Performance with the Harbor's Night View

About this spot

Facing Nagasaki Harbor, this park with its expansive lawn and green spaces serves as the main viewing venue for the Nagasaki Minato Festival fireworks. The lawn area is spacious, allowing you to spread out a leisure sheet and wait comfortably for the fireworks. During the day, the harbor breeze is refreshing, and as dusk approaches, Nagasaki Harbor's water surface turns orange, heightening the anticipation as you wait for the fireworks. Food stalls and vendors are also present, so you can purchase additional beverages or evening snacks. Spread out your sheet with family and enjoy the harbor night view while waiting for the performance to begin.

Fireworks details

Date & time: 7/25 (Sat)・26 (Sun) 20:30–

Venue: 長崎市・長崎水辺の森公園／長崎港

ながさきみなとまつりのクライマックス、花火大会は毎年7月25日・26日の20時30分から長崎港で打ち上げられます。長崎水辺の森公園は花火を正面から楽しめるメイン観覧エリアで、港の夜景と一体になった花火の光景は長崎の夏を象徴する風景です。稲佐山を背景にした港の夜空に次々と開く大輪の花火は、海面にも光の帯を引き、水の都・長崎ならではの美しさがあります。波の音と潮風の中で聴く打ち上げ音の迫力も格別で、フィナーレの連発は会場全体が歓声に包まれます。1日の締めくくりにふさわしい、感動のひとときです。

Tips

花火大会当日は会場周辺の交通規制や入場制限が行われる場合があります。長崎市または大会公式の発表を事前に確認してください。終了後は路面電車・バスが大変混み合うため、フィナーレ後は少し会場でゆっくりしてから移動するのがおすすめ。長崎駅方面へは徒歩でも20分程度です。荒天時の開催可否は公式発表で確認を。

Tips

Approximately 5-10 minutes on foot from Dejima Wharf. On fireworks festival day, space reservation begins early, so plan to arrive around 6 PM. The lawn is large, so you'll have good views of the fireworks even from farther back areas, though closer to the water provides more excitement. Check the locations of nearby public restrooms upon entering.
