2026 Sendai River Fireworks Festival: Full-Day Course

A course centered on the Sendai River Fireworks Festival held on Sunday, August 16, 2026, letting you enjoy a full day in Satsumasendai from the morning onward. In the afternoon, touch on Satsuma's history in the cultural zone adjoining the Satsumasendai City Library and History Resource Center “Rupinasu,” and stroll the promenade along the Sendai River. In the evening, fill up on Kagoshima's local food around the station, then head to the riverbank viewing area with plenty of time to spare. With roughly 10,000 shells launched, the Sendai River Fireworks Festival is one of the largest fireworks festivals in Kagoshima Prefecture, and the interplay between the light reflected on the river's surface and the huge blossoms coloring the night sky is breathtaking. Be sure to experience the powerful sight of the river's surface and the night sky becoming one, as a fitting close to summer.
