2026 Nabari River Summer Fireworks Festival (名張川納涼花火大会): A Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Nabari River Summer Fireworks Festival (名張川納涼花火大会), held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, letting you enjoy the nature and history of Nabari City (名張市), Mie Prefecture (三重県), from daytime onward. In the afternoon, starting from Nabari Station (名張駅) on the Kintetsu Osaka Line, stroll through the old town that retains the atmosphere of Iga ninja culture and a former castle town. Next, walk along the clear stream at Akame 48 Waterfalls (赤目四十八滝), often called Nabari's hidden retreat, and feel summer's coolness throughout your body. In the evening, move to the riverbank of the Nabari River (名張川) to secure a spot and fill up on food-stall favorites. Once the sun sets, about 4,000 fireworks color the night sky over the Nabari River. With fireworks reflected on the water's surface and a pleasant summer night breeze, this is a quintessentially Nabari summer day plan.
