Yamaguchi — Kaminoseki Suigun Festival Fireworks

Getting there

The venue can be reached by public transport or car.

By train and bus From Yanai Station on the JR Sanyo Main Line, take a Bocho Bus towards Kaminoseki and get off in the Murotsu area. Check the current bus timetable and your return connection before travelling, as evening services can be limited and busy after the fireworks.

By car Traffic restrictions and event-use parking arrangements may change from year to year. If driving, follow the current town and event guidance and attendants' directions rather than relying on ordinary roadside-station parking availability during the festival.

Alternative viewing spots

The event's main public area is around Murotsu Port and the roadside station. For other viewpoints, choose only public, open locations and follow event-day traffic and safety restrictions.

1. Nagashima-side shoreline across Kaminoseki Ohashi Public shoreline locations on the Nagashima side can offer a more distant view back toward the Murotsu event area. Do not confuse these with Michi-no-Eki Kaminoseki Kaikyo, which is on the Murotsu side.

2. Quays farther from the busiest part of Murotsu Port Open public waterfront sections may provide a calmer, more distant view. Stay outside restricted working-port areas and follow staff instructions.

3. Public elevated viewpoints around Kaminoseki Higher public locations can offer views over the strait. Do not enter private land, closed roads or restricted areas simply to obtain a view.

Safety notice Do not stop on Kaminoseki Ohashi to watch the fireworks. Use designated or clearly public viewing areas and obey event-day restrictions.
