This full-day course puts the fireworks of the Reiwa 8 Iruma Air Base Summer Festival (令和8年度入間基地納涼祭), held on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at its center, letting you enjoy the Sayama and Tokorozawa area of Saitama Prefecture from midday onward. In the afternoon, discover Japan's aviation history at the Tokorozawa Aviation Museum (所沢航空発祥記念館) and stroll through the greenery of the spacious Aviation Memorial Park while feeling the summer breeze. In the evening, move into Sayama City to grab a meal, and after securing a spot near the base, enjoy the festival's finale at night as fireworks bloom across the sky above Japan Air Self-Defense Force Iruma Air Base (航空自衛隊入間基地). Combining daytime fun fitting for this aviation town with fireworks on a summer night, it is a plan the whole family can enjoy for a full day.
