2026 Tanabe Fireworks Festival - Full-Day Course

A full-day course centered around the Tanabe Fireworks Festival held on October 3, 2026 (Saturday), allowing you to enjoy the sea and history of Kishu and Tanabe throughout the day. In the morning, visit Tougyou Shrine (闘鶏神社), known as the gateway to the Kumano Kodo (熊野古道), and also see the statue of Musashibo Benkei, who is associated with Tanabe. In the afternoon, pass through Tanabe's streets and head to Ougi-ga-hama Park (扇ヶ浜公園), where you can enjoy the views of the white sand beach and the Pacific Ocean. In the evening, have an early dinner at food stalls near the venue and secure your viewing spot with a leisure sheet before nightfall. At 8 PM, when the sun has set, approximately 3,500 fireworks burst open directly above the Ougi-ga-hama sand beach, and this autumn night is a special time to feel the richness of the Kii Peninsula's nature in your soul. Experience a unique day in Tanabe, combining the pilgrimage to Kumano and seaside fireworks.
