There are no public parking lots around the venue, so using public transportation is strongly recommended. Out of consideration for local residents, please never park on the street.

Since the fireworks can be experienced from just 200m away from the launch site, you can enjoy an impressive view from virtually anywhere.

Lesser-Known Viewing Spots

You can feel close to the fireworks from anywhere around Mikuriya Fishing Port, but here are several recommended lesser-known spots for those who want to avoid the crowds and watch at a more relaxed pace.

  1. Coastline west of Mikuriya Fishing Port The coastline stretching west of Mikuriya Fishing Port may offer a quiet place to watch the fireworks, slightly away from the bustle of the main venue. You can enjoy the beautiful sight of the fireworks over the water while feeling the sea breeze. It is also relatively close to the launch site, so you can still experience plenty of impact.
  2. The rock where Emperor Go-Daigo rested and the monument marking the landing site of Emperor Genko The area around historical sites near Mikuriya Fishing Port, such as the “Rock Where Emperor Go-Daigo Rested” and the “Monument Marking the Landing Site of Emperor Genko,” is also recommended as a lesser-known viewing spot. From these locations overlooking the sea, you can enjoy the fireworks with a sense of history and atmosphere. They are within walking distance of the fishing port.
  3. Elevated areas east of Mikuriya Fishing Port There are several slightly elevated areas east of Mikuriya Fishing Port. From these higher vantage points, you may be able to look down over the entire port and the fireworks, enjoying the contrast between the fireworks over the water and the nighttime scenery. However, trees or other obstructions may block the view in some locations, so checking the area in advance is recommended.

Many of these lesser-known viewing spots do not have parking, so plan to use public transportation and get around on foot.
