Watch fireworks bloom in the tropical night sky from the harbor seawall

About this spot

The fireworks that mark the finale of the Amami Festival are launched from the sea at Nase Commercial Port District. As large fireworks bloom one after another in the night sky within a wide-open harbor view, the scene is enveloped in an expansive sense of scale unique to subtropical seaside. The flickering light reflected on the water's surface, the sea breeze, and the sound of waves blend together, creating a southern island atmosphere distinctly different from urban fireworks displays. The Amami Festival is the island's largest summer festival, and the fireworks are an important summer spectacle for local people. Fully enjoy the light coloring the night sky amid the lingering heat of the celebration.
