Port Viewing Spot - Secure Your Spot and Wait for the Show With Ocean Breeze
About this spot
The Shimizu Port and Shikajima area, the venue for the Shimin Matsuri Ashizuri Matsuri Summer Fireworks Festival, features the port's waterfront and surrounding public spaces as fireworks viewing areas. The port's waterfront, facing Shikajima directly, offers excellent location with almost nothing obstructing the fireworks display - ideal viewing conditions. The harbor breeze is pleasant at dusk, and waiting for the show as the sky transforms from crimson to indigo is itself an essential part of the fireworks experience. If food stalls are available, enjoy light snacks while awaiting the darkening night sky with anticipation.

2026年8月1日(土)20時から40分間にわたって繰り広げられる、市民祭あしずりまつり納涼花火大会です。清水港の鹿島周辺から打ち上げられる約7,000発は、土佐清水市の夏の夜を彩る地域を代表する花火大会で、港に集まった地元の人々と一緒に楽しむ温かな雰囲気も魅力のひとつです。太平洋に開けた清水港の広い夜空に次々と大輪が開き、港の水面に光が反射する様子は海辺の花火大会ならではの美しさ。山々に囲まれた内陸とは異なる、潮の香りと波音の中で楽しむ40分間のフィナーレは、四国最南端の夏の旅の締めくくりにふさわしい光景です。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会主催者・土佐清水市の公式発表で必ず確認してください。終了後は周辺の道路が混み合うため、すぐに移動するよりも港でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから帰路に就くのがおすすめです。帰りの駐車場や宿泊先へのルートは事前に確認しておきましょう。

Check toilet locations in advance. After the show, surrounding traffic will be congested; savor the afterglow at the port before departing.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. The port scenery and evening breeze around sunset are exceptionally pleasant.
