2026 Tase-ko Lake Festival Water & Aerial Fireworks Display: A Full-Day Course
Centered on the Tase-ko Lake Festival Water & Aerial Fireworks Display (田瀬湖湖水まつり 水・空中花火大会) held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, this course lets you enjoy the Lake Tase (田瀬湖) area of Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, all day from midday. In the afternoon, visit spots connected to the Hanamaki Onsen hot spring resort and to Miyazawa Kenji, then in the evening head back to the lakeshore to claim a spot and grab a bite. As night falls, a lake-only spectacle awaits: underwater fireworks reflected on Lake Tase's surface and aerial fireworks coloring the night sky, enjoyed at the same time. This is a special one-day plan for an Iwate summer, spent by a mountain lake with clear, crisp air.
