2026 Kitakata Cool-Evening Fireworks Festival (喜多方納涼花火大会) Full-Day Course

This is a full-day course centered on the Kitakata Cool-Evening Fireworks Festival (喜多方納涼花火大会) held on Sunday, July 26, 2026, letting you enjoy the charm of Kitakata City (喜多方市), Fukushima Prefecture, from daytime onward. Explore the streets of Kitakata, known as a town of kura storehouses, and savor the flavors of long-established shops famous for Kitakata ramen. In the afternoon, relax and feel the river breeze at one of the city's finest natural spots, and toward evening, take your time securing a spot at Nikkobashi River Green Space (日橋川緑地), near the venue. As the sun sets, fireworks bloom in the night sky as if lighting up the surface of the Nikkobashi River (日橋川), and the quiet murmur of the river blends with the summer night's cheers. This is a plan unique to Kitakata's summer, combining the charm of its storehouse town with fireworks by the river. Come experience Kitakata's real strength — there's more to it than just ramen and storehouse touring.
