Having an early dinner here before heading to the Suwa Shrine and harbor town festival area allows you to dedicate more time to evening viewing. As the sky begins to change color in the early evening, dining in the calm atmosphere of the station front while building anticipation for the Tatemon festival about to begin creates a special moment.
Season & hours
Name: じゃんとこい魚津まつり
Date & time: 8/7 (Fri)–8/9 (Sun) Time TBA
Venue: 魚津市中心部(諏訪神社・港町周辺、たてもん祭り会場)
2026年のじゃんとこい魚津まつりは8月7日から9日までの3日間、諏訪神社と港町一帯を舞台に開催されます。会場では、高さ数メートルの三角形の木枠に約80個ともいわれる提灯を飾りつけた「たてもん」と呼ばれる灯り山が登場し、若者たちが威勢のよい掛け声とともにそれを担ぎ、回転させながら練り歩きます。無数の提灯の灯りが夜の港町を照らし、水面に映るその姿は幻想的そのもの。海とともに生きてきた魚津の人々の心意気が伝わる、地域を代表する夏まつりです。
