Kobe Port Minato HANABI
Autumn nights at Kobe Port, where fireworks bloom over the Seto Inland Sea embraced by Mount Rokko.

Kobe Port Minato HANABI is an annual maritime fireworks festival held in the Kobe harbor area every autumn. The main venue is Meriken Park, where fireworks are launched from offshore platforms, creating a stunning three-dimensional view framed by the Rokko mountain range.

Kobe Port Minato HANABI

The event spans multiple nights, with each show lasting about 30 minutes and featuring over 5,000 fireworks in total. The cool autumn sea breeze provides a comfortable viewing experience, and the relaxed atmosphere, distinct from the large summer fireworks displays, is its greatest charm.

You can reach Kobe Port by walking or taking the Port Liner; it’s about a 15-minute walk from Sannomiya Station to Meriken Park. Since the festival runs for several consecutive days, you can choose the best day to enjoy the show.
