2026 Taisha Shrine Grand Festival Fireworks (Kofu Fireworks) - Full Day Enjoyment Course
A full-day course that centers on the Taisha Shrine Grand Festival Fireworks (Kofu Fireworks) to be held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, and lets you enjoy the entire Toyokawa area from afternoon onwards. In the afternoon, enjoy worship at Myōgyō-ji Temple (妙厳寺), known nationwide as Toyokawa Inari, and casual dining along the gate area, while experiencing local culture at Sakuragaoka Museum. In the evening, move early to the area along the Otowa River to secure a viewing spot and have dinner in preparation for the opening. At 6:30 PM, fireworks dedicated to the Taisha Shrine's Grand Festival light up the summer night sky one after another. The fireworks, presented as part of this historic festival tradition, are a long-cherished summer spectacle of the region. A fulfilling full-day plan where you can experience Toyokawa's temples, shrines, culture, and riverside fireworks all at once.
