2026 Shinmei Fireworks Festival (神明の花火大会): A Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Shinmei Fireworks Festival (神明の花火大会), held on Friday, August 7, 2026, letting you enjoy Ichikawa-Misato Town (市川三郷町), Yamanashi Prefecture (山梨県), and its surroundings from daytime onward. In the afternoon, experience the grand nature of Shosenkyo (昇仙峡), one of Yamanashi's most celebrated scenic spots, and in the evening, fill up on local food at Michi-no-Eki Minobu Fujikawa Tourist Center (道の駅みのぶ 富士川観光センター). Once the sun starts to sink, move to the Fuefuki River (笛吹川) riverbank to secure a spot, and in the night enjoy Yamanashi's proud, powerful fireworks display of around 20,000 shells together with the river's reflection. This plan lets you savor the Shinmei Fireworks, sometimes called one of Japan's three great fireworks displays, alongside Yamanashi's nature and local flavors to the fullest.
