2026 Abe River Fireworks Festival — A Full-Day Itinerary

Centered on the Abe River Fireworks Festival (安倍川花火大会) held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, this course lets you enjoy central Shizuoka City and the nature along the Abe River (安倍川) for a full day starting at midday. In the afternoon, experience greenery and history at Sunpu Castle Park (駿府城公園), tied to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and tour the grand shrine buildings of Shizuoka Sengen Shrine (静岡浅間神社). In the evening, fill up on Shizuoka's famous local food, then head to the Abe River riverbed to secure a spot. As night falls, large fireworks bloom one after another across the wide sky along the river. This is the definitive plan for a Shizuoka summer, combining a historical stroll through Shizuoka with riverside fireworks in one day.
