Tour Introduction

As autumn sets over Kobe Port, a spectacular night‑time feast is brewing in the sky. In 2026, the Kobe "Port Fireworks Festival" enters its fifth year, and this autumn fireworks celebration that lights up the entire Kobe Bay is being fully upgraded this year — the fireworks display has been extended from 15 minutes to 20 minutes, with more dazzling pyrotechnics and even more spectacular sound‑and‑light effects, blossoming across the night sky of Kobe Port.

This time, you no longer have to squeeze through the crowds on the shore to watch the fireworks. Kobe Dining Cruise Company has specially launched a 5‑day limited "Port Fireworks" cruise itinerary. From 19 to 23 October, board the "Concerto" cruise ship and welcome this autumn‑only visual wonder in the most luxurious way.

Say goodbye to the crowded walls of people on the shore and enjoy a golden sea‑view perspective from the cruise. The 20‑minute fireworks show starts on time at 18:30 daily, blooming magnificently right before your eyes. With the dazzling night scenery of Kobe Port as the backdrop, every firework is clearly visible — this is a prime viewing seat that only the sea can offer.

Indoor seating offers a full French set menu carefully crafted by the head chef — from appetisers, soups and main courses to exquisite desserts, every dish is a combination of art and flavour. With a comfortable indoor dining space and floor‑to‑ceiling windows facing the harbour, you can savour the layered flavours of French cuisine while enjoying the ever‑changing Kobe night view — a dual feast for the palate and the eyes begins.

Departing on time at 17:00, the cruise slowly leaves the port in the glow of the setting sun. The lights of Kobe Port Tower, Meriken Park and Mount Rokko come into view one by one. The night scenery of Kobe Bay, hailed as one of the "Three Great Night Views of Japan", unfolds gently before you. Even before the fireworks rise, this ever‑changing night view is already breathtaking.

2026 marks the fifth year of the Port Fireworks Festival, with the fireworks scale fully upgraded and the duration extended by one‑third. The 5‑day limited Port Fireworks cruise itinerary has limited seats — if you want to enjoy this autumn fireworks feast exclusively at sea, you'd better seize the opportunity now. Board at sunset, feel the slightly salty sea breeze, enjoy a pre‑dinner drink, and wait for that miracle to bloom in the autumn night sky. This autumn, treat yourself to a sea fireworks journey and leave yourself with the most dazzling memories.
