Enjoy sweeping views of Genkai Nada from the elevated platform
About this spot
This is the ruins of a castle said to have been built in the Sengoku period (戦国時代), located on an elevated platform overlooking Katsumoto Port. With portions of stone walls remaining, it is a quiet historic site offering panoramic views of the blue sea of Genkai Nada and the port town of Katsumoto from the summit. If you take a look at Katsumoto Port (勝本港), where tonight's fireworks will light up the sky, from this elevated platform during the day, your sense of anticipation for the night viewing will grow. With pleasant sea breezes, this is one of the highlights of your island exploration.
Fireworks details

Date & time: 8/13 (Thu) Time TBA
Venue: 勝本港湾海上
Shells: approx. 2,000
2026年8月13日(木)開催、壱岐島の勝本港湾海上を舞台にした花火大会です。約2,000発の花火が夜空に打ち上がり、静かな島の港町が一年で最もにぎやかな夜を迎えます。周囲に高い建物が少ない分、花火が空いっぱいに広がって見えるのが島の花火大会ならではの魅力。波音とともに楽しむ夜空のショーは、離島の夏の思い出として特別なものになります。
Tips
開催時間は当日発表のため、壱岐市や大会公式の情報を事前に確認しておきましょう。荒天時は中止や順延の可能性があります。終了後は港周辺が混み合うため、フェリーや宿への移動時間に余裕を持たせておくと安心です。
Tips
About 5 minutes by car from Omdake Shrine (男嶽神社). There is a gentle uphill slope to the summit, so wear comfortable shoes and prepare for sun protection. Toward evening, the next destination, Katsumoto Port area (勝本港周辺), is about 5 minutes away by car.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. In the late afternoon with slanting light, the blue of the sea appears more vivid
