2026 Hikari Fireworks Festival (光花火大会): A Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Hikari Fireworks Festival (光花火大会), held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, letting you enjoy the seaside and streets of Hikari City (光市), Yamaguchi Prefecture (山口県), to the fullest. During the day, stroll through the Kanmuri Plum Garden (冠梅園) area with views of Ushijima Island (牛島), a symbol of Hikari's nature, and in the afternoon touch on local history and culture around the Hikari Cultural Center (光市文化センター). In the evening, feel the sea breeze along the Nijigahama coast (虹ヶ浜) while grabbing a bite and staking out your spot. Once the sun sets, fully enjoy the Hikari Fireworks Festival from the sand as about 3,000 fireworks launch into the night sky over the Suo Sea (周防灘) from the area around Nijigahama Beach (虹ヶ浜海水浴場). This is the ultimate summer plan for Hikari City, made possible by its calm Seto Inland Sea shoreline.
