Large fireworks bloom in the night sky above the Amakusa Sea, light reflecting on the sea surface, a summer night caressed by sea breeze

About this spot

Saturday, July 18, 2026, 8:30 p.m. launch start—the climax of the Marine Festa Kuchinotsu Fireworks Festival. The fireworks launched from Kuchinotsu Port facing the Amakusa Sea spread widely across the unobstructed night sky above the sea, with vivid light also reflecting on the water surface. Watching the fireworks from this location with the silhouettes of the Amakusa Islands floating on the opposite shore offers the openness unique to the southern tip of the Shimabara Peninsula. Amidst the mingling of ocean scent and wave sounds, the colorful lights blooming in the night sky create a moment fitting to conclude Minamisatsuma's summer. Enjoy the sight of the blue Amakusa Sea you saw in daylight being painted by fireworks light at night, together with your family.

Tips

In case of bad weather, always confirm whether the event will be held through the official announcements of Minamisatsuma City or Marine Festa. After the event ends, roads and parking lot exits around the venue will be congested. After the fireworks conclude, it's recommended to enjoy the atmosphere in the park for a while, then leave at a staggered time. As the path home becomes dark, keep your phone light or flashlight handy.
