2026 Soma Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Enjoyment Course
Centered on the Soma Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, September 12, 2026, this course lets you thoroughly enjoy the seaside and downtown of Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture, for a full day. In the afternoon, visit the historic shrine buildings at Soma Nakamura Shrine, enshrined in the center of Soma City, and stroll through the streets that retain traces of the Soma Domain's castle town. Next, head to Matsukawaura Prefectural Natural Park and enjoy the calm scenery of the lagoon and the sea breeze. In the evening, fill up on fresh seafood at a local eatery handling Matsukawaura's catch before heading to the venue, where night brings the moving experience of fireworks blooming in the Soma sky. The combination of sea breeze and fireworks unique to this Pacific-facing port town makes for a day plan that creates special memories.
