About this spot
Held on Thursday, August 13, 2026, this fireworks festival takes place over the waters of Katsumoto Harbor on Iki Island. About 2,000 fireworks shells launch into the night sky, and the quiet island port town experiences its liveliest night of the year. With few tall buildings nearby, the fireworks appear to fill the entire sky, a charm unique to island fireworks festivals. This night-sky show, enjoyed to the sound of the waves, becomes a special summer memory of the remote island.

Tips
The fireworks launch from 20:00 to 21:30. In case of severe weather, the event will be postponed to the following day, so check the official information from the Iki City Tourism Association (壱岐市観光連盟) in advance. The area around the port gets crowded after the show ends, so it's reassuring to allow extra time for moving to the ferry or your accommodation.
