2026 Sontoku Summer Festival THE FINAL Grand Fireworks Display: Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Sontoku Summer Festival THE FINAL Grand Fireworks Display (尊徳夏まつりザ・ファイナル大花火大会), held on Saturday, August 29, 2026, letting you enjoy Moka City, Tochigi Prefecture and its surroundings from midday onward. In the afternoon, visit historic sites connected to Ninomiya Sontoku and nature-rich parks to soak up the summer atmosphere of Moka. In the evening, grab a bite near the venue, secure a spot at Kinugawa Riverbed Green Park (鬼怒川河川敷緑地公園), and watch the fireworks color the night sky from 7:30 PM. The light reflected on the surface of the Kinugawa River and the booming sound echoing across the riverbed create an unforgettable impact. This fulfilling full-day plan, perfect for the whole family, is a fitting way to close out summer in Tochigi.
