There is no question that the sea is vital for life on Earth – it provides oxygen, regulates the climate, supports biodiversity, and sustains economies around the world through fishing, transportation, and tourism. The Odawara Minato Festival is a celebration of this, and the event allows attendees to interact with the sea in various ways.
The family-friendly festival is set to include sales of fresh fish, the opportunity to observe or take part in various fishing activities, fun stage performances, and plenty more.

Please note that pre-registration is required for certain events at the festival. More information about the schedule of activities can be found on the official festival website.
Getting there
The event takes place at the Odawara Fishery Harbor, which can be accessed in just a minute on foot from Hayakawa Station on the JR Tōkaidō Line. Due to limited parking in the area, attendees are advised to utilize public transport wherever possible.
