Tour Introduction

In autumn, Kobe Port is not just picturesque – there is also a feast in the night sky waiting for you. In 2026, "Minato HANABI" celebrates its 5th anniversary, with the fireworks display extended from 15 minutes to a record‑breaking 20 minutes, and you will witness this two‑day dazzling spectacle from the front row at sea.

Board the "Luminous Kobe 2" – this is not just a cruise, but a dual celebration of taste and sight. Departing on time at 17:00, the sunset spreads across Kobe Port as the city skyline slowly recedes in the golden light. Hold a glass of sparkling wine, lean against the deck railing, watch the silhouettes of Kobe Tower and Ijinkan light up one by one, and feel the pleasant sea breeze against your cheeks.

The onboard buffet station is all set – Kobe wagyu beef sushi, fresh sashimi and freshly made desserts, every bite capturing the local flavours of Kobe. On‑site add‑on drinks are served unlimited, from red and white wine to sake, from soft drinks to cocktails – order whatever you fancy, and a light buzz is the perfect state for waiting for the fireworks to rise.

At 18:30, the cruise docks, and the real show is just about to begin. You step onto the public terrace, and before you lies the wide open sea of Kobe Port – no high‑rise buildings blocking the view, no crowds pushing around, just you and the entire night sky. When the first firework shoots into the sky, the whole of Kobe Port lights up – pinkish purple, golden yellow, sapphire blue – each one blooming and falling in the dark night, reflections swaying with the waves on the sea, as if the whole world is shining for you.

20 minutes – a special gift for the 5th anniversary, and a non‑stop visual bombardment. Every explosion is met with gasps from the crowd, every trail of light etched into the memories of autumn. This is not fireworks on TV, not fireworks on the distant horizon, but fireworks right before your eyes, within arm's reach – this is the one‑of‑a‑kind charm of the Kobe Port Hanabi Cruise. Only two nights, 19 and 23 October, with limited seats. Miss this, and you'll have to wait another year.
