2026 Lake Nojiri Fireworks Festival: Full-Day Course

This full-day course centers on the Lake Nojiri Fireworks Festival, held Saturday, July 25, 2026, and lets you enjoy the nature of Shinano Town, Nagano Prefecture, from midday onward. Start at the shore of a cool highland lake, touch the romance of prehistoric times at the Lake Nojiri Naumann Elephant Museum, and then enjoy lunch while strolling the lakeshore. In the afternoon, head out into the vast nature of the Kurohime Highlands and take a deep breath of highland air to recharge. Return to the lakeshore in the evening to secure a viewing spot, then watch the fireworks launched from the lake at night. With bands of light reflected on the water's surface and sound echoing off the mountains, this is a fireworks experience unique to a highland summer night. Seeking coolness at a lake sitting 653m above sea level, this is a plan for a fulfilling summer day the whole family can enjoy.
