The Minakoi Port Festival takes over the area around Yoshikawa fishing port in Konan City, Kochi, on July 26, and its fireworks — 21:00–21:25 — close the night before a crowd of around 30,000. Dance teams that join the Yosakoi Festival bring the grounds to life, and the same-day 'Umaimono-ichi' food market gathers local specialties to sample. The number of shells is undecided, so check the organizer's latest announcements. Access is easiest by road: about 10 minutes by taxi from Noichi Station on the Tosa Kuroshio Railway, or about 10 minutes from the Kochi Ryoma Airport IC. 1,000 free parking spaces operate 15:00–22:00. Arrive about an hour before the start — walkways near the breakwater get busy — and carry cash for the stalls.
