2026 Nagano Ebisu-ko Fireworks Festival (長野えびす講煙火大会): Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered on the Nagano Ebisu-ko Fireworks Festival, held on Monday, November 23, 2026 (a national holiday), letting you enjoy autumn in Nagano City to the fullest. Amid the bustle of the Ebisu-ko festival, an autumn tradition dating back to the Edo period, stroll leisurely along Zenko-ji Temple's approach and grounds while savoring Nagano's food culture. In the afternoon, enjoy the last of the fall colors in a nature-rich park along the Sai River, and in the evening, grab a warm meal and secure your viewing spot near the venue. As night falls, around 10,000 fireworks launched from Sai River Daini Ryokuchi Park (犀川第2緑地) paint the late-autumn sky while their light reflects on the river's surface. Packed with Nagano City's history, nature, and fireworks, this is the perfect one-day plan for the November holiday.
