2026 Ikoma Town Commerce Festival Fireworks Display Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Ikoma Town Commerce Festival fireworks display held on July 25, 2026 (Saturday), allowing you to thoroughly enjoy Ikoma, a historical town continuing from the Asuka period. In the afternoon, be overwhelmed by the world's oldest wooden architectural structures at the UNESCO World Heritage Horyu-ji Temple, and in the late afternoon, stroll through the peaceful countryside with the three-story pagoda of Hoki-ji Temple. In the evening, enjoy a meal at the roadside station and nearby facilities before heading to the Shiseki Chuguji-ato Rekishi Koen, where you can enjoy the fireworks illuminating the summer night sky up close. This summer day plan, combining sites associated with Prince Shotoku and fireworks, is full of Nara's distinctive character.
