Watch Fireworks Lighting the Night Sky of Nagasaki Harbor from Mizube no Mori Park

About this spot

The climax of the Nagasaki Minato Festival, the fireworks display launches from Nagasaki Harbor every July 25-26 at 8:30 PM. Nagasaki Mizube no Mori Park is the main viewing area where you can enjoy the fireworks frontally, and the sight of fireworks integrated with the harbor's night view symbolizes Nagasaki's summer. Successive large blooms of fireworks against the night sky of the harbor with Inasayama Mountain as backdrop draw bands of light on the water's surface, displaying a beauty unique to the water city of Nagasaki. The powerful sound of the launches echoing amid the sound of waves and sea breeze is extraordinary, and the finale's continuous bursts envelop the entire venue in cheers. A memorable moment befitting the perfect ending to your day.
