2026 Furukawa Fireworks Festival Full-Day Course
A full-day course enjoying all of the Furukawa area in Ibaraki Prefecture, centered around the Furukawa Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, August 1, 2026. In the afternoon, stroll through Furukawa General Park (古河総合公園), a historic park associated with Furukawa Castle, and explore the history of the Furukawa clan at the Furukawa History Museum within the grounds. Afterwards, pay your respects at Suzume Shrine (雀神社), an ancient shrine representing Furukawa City. In the evening, purchase dinner at the shopping street in front of Furukawa Station and head to the Tarasegawa River embankment. As dusk falls, settle onto the embankment and enjoy the fireworks blooming across the night sky of the expansive river area. A summer one-day plan packed with the charm of Furukawa—a city of history with verdant parks and peaceful riverside scenery.
