Nippo Coast Rock Oyster Festival 2025

Restaurants serve up the region's specialty

Venue
Nippo Coast, Oita/Miyazaki
When
May 1st - Aug 31st 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.

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

For the 2025 festival, please review the list of participating restaurants for specific addresses.

Sorry…. Is this event for 2023 or 2021? The enclosed event flyers are stating 2021!

I'm sorry, I had to laugh. When I read the title, the first thing that came to mind was the song 'Rock Lobster' by The B52s 😂
