Secure your spot for fireworks while enjoying takeout dinner
About this spot
A waterfront park overlooking Kobe's symbol - the red tower and the sail-shaped hotel building - and the main venue for tonight's fireworks festival. With spacious lawn and a waterfront promenade, it's an open space where families can relax. After arriving from Harborland, spread out your takeout dinner and leisurely enjoy the beautiful port scenery as the sun sets while waiting for the fireworks. From late afternoon onwards, the park fills with people looking for spots, so it's best to secure a comfortable location early.
Fireworks details
Name: 神戸港ウィークエンド花火
Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 19:30–
Venue: 神戸市中央区・メリケンパーク
2026年8月1日(土)19時30分開催、神戸港を舞台にした花火大会です。港のシンボルである赤い塔やホテルの帆型シルエットを背景に、夜空へ次々と花火が打ち上がります。海に面した開放的な会場のため視界を遮るものが少なく、家族連れでも見やすいのが魅力。港の夜景と花火が重なり合う光景は、みなと町・神戸ならではのロマンチックな雰囲気を作り出します。波の音と潮風を感じながら過ごす、夏の一夜のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認を。終了直後は三宮・神戸駅方面が大混雑するため、フィナーレ後は少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめ。足元が暗い箇所もあるのでスマホのライトで安全に。
Tips
About 10 minutes walk from Harborland. On the day of the fireworks festival, the park and surrounding roads will be extremely congested from evening onwards. Grab food and drinks early (convenience stores nearby sell out quickly). Use restrooms in the park early as facilities get crowded later.
Best time to visit
Takes about 2 hours 45 minutes. The sunset over the port around dusk is the most pleasant time of the day.
