2026 Miyazu Toro Nagashi Fireworks Festival (宮津燈籠流し花火大会): A Full-Day Course

A day-long course centered on the Miyazu Toro Nagashi Fireworks Festival (宮津燈籠流し花火大会), held on Sunday, August 16, 2026, touring the sea and history of Miyazu City (宮津市), Kyoto Prefecture (京都府). It's a summer night festival representative of the Tango (丹後) region, where about 3,000 fireworks launch over Miyazu Bay (宮津湾) alongside a toro nagashi lantern-floating ceremony that sends off the spirits of Obon. By day, cross Amanohashidate (天橋立), one of Japan's Three Scenic Views, and feel the breeze through the pine grove; in the afternoon, stroll the historic temples and shrines of central Miyazu. In the evening, secure a spot around Shimazaki Park (島崎公園), overlooking Miyazu Bay, while fueling up, and enjoy fireworks blooming large over the sea along with the sea breeze. A night where the fantastical sight of lanterns drifting on the water's surface overlaps with fireworks blooming in the night sky has a charm unlike any other fireworks festival. It's a special one-day plan for the whole family to fully savor the summer sea of Tango.
