2026 Tatsuno Ryoyo Summer Fireworks Festival Full-Day Course
A full-day course to enjoy Tatsuno City—the "Little Kyoto of Harima"—thoroughly in conjunction with the Tatsuno Ryoyo Summer Fireworks Festival, held on August 1, 2026 (Saturday). In the afternoon, stroll leisurely through the white-walled castle town, visiting Ryoyo Castle Ruins (龍野城跡), designated as a national historic site, and the historic Ryoyo Shrine. Next, visit the museum unique to Tatsuno, a town of soy sauce and hand-drawn noodles, to experience local culture. In the evening, cool off on the Yibo River (揖保川) riverbank and have an early dinner. As dusk falls, settle along the Yibo River riverbank (Ryoyo District) and enjoy the summer night as approximately 2,000 fireworks illuminate the water's surface. A plan packed with Tatsuno's summer charm, combining the ambiance of the castle town with riverside fireworks.
