As a port, Kuchinotsu began to flourish upon the arrival of the European traders. The town owes much to the sea so each year a Marine Festival is held. The festival is now a one-day event with stalls and entertainment during the day plus fireworks in the evening.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Mid
