Ochiai Summer Fireworks Festival 2026 - A Full Day Immersion Course

A full-day course that centers on the Ochiai Summer Fireworks Festival held on July 25, 2026, and fully enjoys the nature and history of the Ochiai area of Maniwa City from afternoon onward. About 2,500 fireworks launched along the Asahi River, which flows through the northern part of Okayama Prefecture, resonate with the unique sounds and impact of a river nestled in the mountains. In the afternoon, leisurely enjoy local gourmet food at Maniwa's roadside stations and local farm stands, then explore the old town of Kuseand nearby shrines to experience the summer mountain village atmosphere. From evening onwards, move to the Asahi River riverbed to cool off while awaiting the opening, and spend a special night with your family, feeling the light of the fireworks reflected on the river surface and the night breeze against your skin. A summer festival night in northern Okayama, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is truly special.
