Reserve your spot on the port's grass with dinner, waiting for the opening while caressed by the sea breeze
About this spot
Kuchinotsu Port Ryokuchi Park, tonight's fireworks festival venue, is an open grassy park facing the Amakusa Sea. Arrive early in the evening, spread out your leisure sheet, and secure your viewing spot. On the day of the fireworks festival, food stalls typically set up around the park, and enjoying local cuisine while waiting for nightfall is a distinctive way to experience the Marine Festa. As the sun sets, the sea surface turns golden, and the silhouettes of Amakusa islands float on the opposite shore—a scenic view that's beautiful even before the fireworks begin. Feeling the sea breeze of the port as your family relaxes during the evening hours creates precious memories of this special day.
Fireworks details
Name: マリンフェスタ口之津花火大会
Date & time: 7/18 (Sat) 20:30–
Venue: 南島原市・口之津港緑地公園
2026年7月18日(土)20時30分打ち上げ開始、マリンフェスタ口之津花火大会のクライマックスです。天草灘に面した口之津港から打ち上がる花火は、遮るものがない海上の夜空に大きく広がり、海面にも鮮やかな光が映り込みます。対岸に天草諸島の島影が浮かぶロケーションで見る花火は、島原半島の南端ならではの開放感があります。潮の香りと波の音が混ざり合う中で色とりどりの光が夜空に開く光景は、南島原の夏を締めくくるにふさわしいひとときです。昼間に眺めた天草灘の青い海が、夜は花火の光に染まる様子を、家族でじっくり楽しんでください。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は南島原市またはマリンフェスタの公式発表で必ず確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路と駐車場の出口が混み合います。花火終了後は焦らず公園内で余韻を楽しんでから、時間差での移動がおすすめです。帰り道の足元が暗くなるため、スマホのライトや懐中電灯を手元に用意しておきましょう。
Tips
Parking lot congestion is expected, so arriving early is recommended. Identify restroom locations while it's still light. Mosquitoes become active in the evening, so don't forget insect repellent spray. Food stall items may sell out, so bringing light meals from the roadside station provides peace of mind.
Best time to visit
Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes required. From the beautiful sunset time through the fireworks start, fully savor the port's atmosphere
