The coastline connecting Saiki City, located at the southernmost tip of Oita Prefecture in eastern Kyushu, and Nobeoka City, at the northernmost tip of Miyazaki Prefecture, is greatly influenced by the Kuroshio Current and enjoys a mild climate throughout the year.
The sea stretching out before you is the rich marine area from the Hyuga Sea to the Bungo Channel. This high-quality fishing ground, nurtured by the Kuroshio Current, is home to precious seaweed beds, where you can savor truly authentic spiny lobsters.
This festival, held for three months starting in September when the spiny lobster fishing season opens, allows you to fully enjoy fresh, plump spiny lobster dishes.
