2026 Wakasa Town Cooling Fireworks Festival (Doyo Ennichi) — A Full-Day Itinerary

Centered on the Wakasa Town Cooling Fireworks Festival (Doyo Ennichi) (若桜町納涼花火大会（土用縁日）) held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, this course lets you enjoy the mountain village of Wakasa Town (若桜町) in Yazu District, Tottori Prefecture, for a full day starting at midday. Stroll leisurely through Wakasa's streets, which still carry strong Showa-era charm, and take in the streetscape designated as a Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings along with the Wakasa Railway's (若桜鉄道) charming wooden station. In the afternoon, visit Wakasa Benzaiten Shrine (若桜弁財天社) and Wakasa Shrine (若桜神社), tied to Wakasa-juku's history, and in the evening, stake out a spot and grab a meal at Wakasa Station Plaza (若桜駅前広場). As the sun sets, about 1,600 fireworks shells bloom one after another in the night sky surrounded by the Yazu mountains, bringing a summer night to this small mountain town. This is a course where the whole family can take their time savoring the peaceful mountain-village scenery and the warmth of a local summer festival.
