Why You Should Visit

An annual harbor festival held since Maizuru West Port's registration as a "Minato Oasis," spread between the Umitobira terminal and Onobe Green Space. The grounds host a free dog run, mini shinkansen rides, a harbor marche of food trucks and Hokkaido specialties, and guided sightseeing cruises around the west port. The Japan Coast Guard's Blue Festa runs the same day, with patrol-vessel trial cruises and displays of working ships and vehicles — a full day of sea and harbor fun.
