2026 SHIRASAGI Fireworks Festival at Matogata Beach - Full-Day Immersion Course

On July 20, 2026 (Monday), the SHIRASAGI Fireworks Festival at Matogata Beach in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, becomes the centerpiece of a full-day course to experience a seaside town facing the Harima Sea. In the morning, pay your respects at the historic Oshio Tenjin Shrine, then take a leisurely walk in Oshio Nagisa Park along the coast, bathed in the sea breeze. In the afternoon, enjoy swimming at Matogata Beach in the calm, shallow waters of the Harima Sea, and spend quality family time. In the evening, purchase dinner near the beach and secure your spot, then wait for sunset. From 7:45 PM to 10 PM, about 3,000 fireworks illuminate the night Harima Sea. This is Matogata's signature plan—enjoying both seaside swimming and a full-scale fireworks festival in one day. The beach receives strong sunlight, so remember sun protection measures before heading out.
