Venue : Nippo Coast, Oita/Miyazaki When : Early May - Late Aug 2025

The Nippo Coast stretches from the southern part of Oita Prefecture to the northern part of Miyazaki Prefecture, and it's famous for one thing in particular - rock oysters. The oysters in this part of the country are nourished by mineral-rich seawater from the Kuroshio current and ultra-clean rainwater that flows from the region's mountains, creating the conditions for larger, richer, and creamier oysters than in other locations.

Now in its 6th year, the Nippo Coast Rock Oyster Festival celebrates the revered local delicacy, with several different restaurants in Saiki City, Nobeoka City, Kadogawa Town, and Hyuga City participating in the event.

Getting there

The addresses for the participating restaurants should be released closer to the event date.
