2026 BOATRACE Naruto Presents: Naruto Summer Festival — A Full-Day Itinerary
Centered on BOATRACE Naruto Presents: Naruto Summer Festival (BOATRACE鳴門PRESENTS 鳴門の夏まつり) held on Friday, August 7, 2026, this course lets you enjoy the Naruto area for a full day starting at midday. In the afternoon, observe up close the whirlpools of the Naruto Strait (鳴門海峡) — one of the world's three great tidal currents — from the Onaruto Bridge promenade Uzu no Michi (大鳴門橋遊歩道 渦の道), then pray for safe travels in the lush grounds of Oasahiko Shrine (大麻比古神社). In the evening, return to Naruto City, get a meal and secure a spot along the Munya River (撫養川), and enjoy the bustle of food stalls and stage performances as dusk falls. The festival closes with about 1,000 fireworks shells scheduled to light up the night sky over the Munya River from 8:40 p.m. (check the official announcement that day for whether it will proceed). Wrapped in the heat of a Naruto summer, this is an ideal one-day plan for making summer memories in Tokushima.
