Kagoshima Kinko Bay Summer Night Grand Fireworks Festival Venue (かごしま錦江湾サマーナイト大花火大会会場, Kagoshima Port Honko District)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Kagoshima Kinko Bay Summer Night Grand Fireworks Festival is a large-scale display that brings Kagoshima City's summer to a close. With roughly 15,000 shells launched against the backdrop of Sakurajima across the waters of Kinko Bay, it boasts a scale unmatched by other fireworks festivals. The way the fireworks launched from the port reflect off Kinko Bay's surface, contrasted with Sakurajima's nighttime silhouette, makes for a truly spectacular sight found only in Kagoshima. From 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 29, 2026, roughly an hour of continuous fireworks forms the climax of a southern Kyushu summer night. The moment the grand finale barrage lights up Kinko Bay is the perfect finish to this one-day trip.

Tips

The event may be canceled or postponed due to bad weather or other conditions, so be sure to check the official announcement from Kagoshima City or the festival organizers on the day. After the show, buses and trams heading toward Kagoshima-Chuo Station get extremely crowded. Lingering at the venue for a while after the fireworks end before moving, or checking several tram stops within walking distance in advance, will make your trip home easier.

Best time to visit

Plan around the show time of 7:30-8:30 p.m. Secure your viewing spot at least 30 minutes before it starts.
