Fully enjoy the port festival day, and from 7:30 PM watch about 2,000 fireworks
About this spot
The Hitachi Port Festival held on Sunday, July 26, 2026 in Ibaraki Port Hitachi Port District. From the 1:00 PM opening, the venue buzzes with food stalls and stage events, and as darkness falls the festival mood reaches its peak. From 7:30 PM, about 2,000 fireworks light up the night sky of the port, capping off the festival's climax. The charm is that the open view unique to a port town allows you to watch the successive fireworks on a large scale. Until the festival ends at 8:30 PM, you can enjoy all of Hitachi's summer in one day.
