長崎県 · Calendar 2026

January is Nagasaki's quietest month. The one real draw is Tsushima torafugu pufferfish at its winter peak, which means committing to an island leg. Otherwise the month suits slow, single-base city walking, with slack built in for winter seas.

• 対馬とらふぐ(全国級高級魚・対馬海峡天然+養殖・冬季最盛)

February still reads as winter, and Tsushima torafugu is the clearest reason to come. The Goto Camellia Festival lands right at the end of the month, so push your dates late if that's what you're here for.

• 五島椿まつり（五島列島早春山茶花祭）
• 対馬とらふぐ(全国級高級魚・対馬海峡天然+養殖・冬季最盛)

March is the hinge month: the Goto Camellia Festival runs into the first days, Tsushima torafugu season closes at month's end, and cherry blossom opens at Tabira Park in Hirado. It's the only window to pair winter food with sakura.

• 五島椿まつり（五島列島早春山茶花祭）
• 田平公園(平戶賞櫻名所)
• 対馬とらふぐ(全国級高級魚・対馬海峡天然+養殖・冬季最盛)

Early April still catches cherry blossom at Tabira Park in Hirado; after that the calendar empties out. Use the month for movement-heavy routes — the rainy season hasn't started, and nothing forces your dates.

• 田平公園(平戶賞櫻名所)

May is when Nagasaki's seasons open together: live squid and sea urchin bowls start on Iki, Mogi loquats come in, and Miyama-kirishima azaleas colour Nita Pass in Unzen. Stable pre-rainy-season weather makes an Unzen-plus-Iki loop worth the effort.

• 茂木びわ(長崎市茂木町・江戸時代栽培起源・5-6月旬)
• 壱岐イカ活造り（玄界灘活魷魚料理）
• 勝本うに丼(勝本港鄉土料理)
• 雲仙仁田峠ミヤマキリシマ(5 月中旬-6 月上旬・10 万本ピンクの絨毯・国指定天然記念物)

June brings the rainy season. Nita Pass azaleas hold only through the first days and Mogi loquats wind down mid-month, so plan food-first around Iki's live squid and Katsumoto sea urchin bowls — rain then costs you far less.

• 勝本うに丼(勝本港鄉土料理)
• 雲仙仁田峠ミヤマキリシマ(5 月中旬-6 月上旬・10 万本ピンクの絨毯・国指定天然記念物)

July is the densest month: the Nagasaki Port waterside fireworks and the Peiron dragon-boat championship both fall late, so book city lodging early. Iki marine activities and Saikai jet-skiing open, alongside Goto flying-fish, live squid and sea urchin. The trade-off is heat.

• 西海ジェットスキー(西海市大島町のマリンアクティビティ)
• みなとながさき水辺の花火大会(長崎港)
• 壱岐マリン体験（壱岐島海洋活動）
• 壱岐イカ活造り（玄界灘活魷魚料理）
• 勝本うに丼(勝本港鄉土料理)
• 長崎ペーロン選手権大会（長崎龍舟競賽）
• 五島あご(飛魚干物・あごだし全国普及の起点・五島列島伝統)

August runs on water: Iki marine activities and Saikai jet-skiing, with live squid, Katsumoto sea urchin and Goto flying-fish on the table. Weigh heat and typhoon season — island legs are the first thing weather breaks.

• 五島あご(飛魚干物・あごだし全国普及の起点・五島列島伝統)

September closes out summer: Saikai jet-skiing and Katsumoto sea urchin bowls run to month's end, while Iki squid and Goto flying-fish carry on. Thinner crowds and an empty festival calendar — but it's still typhoon season, so sea crossings can fall through.

October is the month to prioritise. Nagasaki Kunchi at Suwa Shrine takes over the city in the first days — costume rental for the dragon dance and kasaboko included — so book far ahead. Late month, Nita Pass turns to autumn colour.

• 壱岐イカ活造り（玄界灘活魷魚料理）
• 長崎くんち装束 rental(諏訪神社例大祭 10/7-9・龍踊+傘鉾+船踊衣装)
• 長崎くんち（諏訪神社例大祭）
• 仁田峠紅葉(雲仙賞楓景點)
• 五島あご(飛魚干物・あごだし全国普及の起点・五島列島伝統)

November is a changeover: Nita Pass autumn colour holds only through the first days, Iki's live squid season closes at month's end, and Tsushima torafugu opens. Stable weather and an empty calendar make it good for a quiet Unzen or island trip.

• 壱岐イカ活造り（玄界灘活魷魚料理）
• 仁田峠紅葉(雲仙賞楓景點)
• 対馬とらふぐ(全国級高級魚・対馬海峡天然+養殖・冬季最盛)

December is quiet, with no major events. The one seasonal reason to come is Tsushima torafugu at its winter peak, which means adding an island leg and leaving slack for the crossing. Otherwise treat it as a short, single-base trip.
