2026 Fukui Phoenix Fireworks Full Day Course

A full-day course featuring the Fukui Phoenix Fireworks on July 31, 2026 (Friday) as the centerpiece, allowing you to enjoy all the sights Fukui City has to offer from midday onwards. In the afternoon, visit Fukui Castle Ruins (福井城址), one of the finest castles in the Hokuriku region, and the historic Shibata Shrine (柴田神社). Next, head to the observation platform at Asuwayama Park (足羽山公園) for a panoramic view of the city and the Asuwa River. In the evening, stroll along the cherry tree-lined embankment of the Asuwa River as you make your way to the venue, and grab a quick meal from the food stalls. When dusk falls, spread your leisure sheet on the riverbed between Kida Bridge (木田橋) and Itagai Bridge (板垣橋), and enjoy the fireworks blooming large across the summer night sky alongside the waters of the Asuwa River. A definitive summer plan for Fukui that lets you experience both the charm of a castle town and riverside fireworks in one visit.
