2026 Inawashiro Autumn Festival Fireworks: A Full One-Day Course

This one-day course centers on the Inawashiro Autumn Festival Fireworks, held on Monday, August 10, 2026, and lets you enjoy the nature and history of Inawashiro Town in Fukushima Prefecture from midday onward. Stroll along the shores of Lake Inawashiro, Japan's fourth-largest lake, and spend a summer afternoon amid grand views overlooking Mount Bandai. In the afternoon, venture out to Tsurugajo Castle, whose beautiful white keep is a highlight, and get a taste of Aizu's history. In the evening, return to Inawashiro Town for a relaxed meal before the fireworks. Once the sun sets, head to Inawashiro Town Sports Park and look up at about 7,500 fireworks in the night sky. Launched amid the grand nature of Inawashiro, surrounded by the lake and Mount Bandai, these fireworks offer an openness and calm quite different from a city fireworks display. It's a plan the whole family can enjoy, letting you fully experience summer in Fukushima.
