2026 Hirose Gion Festival Fireworks Display: Full-Day Enjoyment Course
This is a course centered on the Hirose Gion Festival Fireworks Display (広瀬祇園祭花火大会), held on Monday, July 20, 2026, letting you spend a full day exploring Hirose-cho, Yasugi City, a castle town linked to the Amago clan (尼子氏). During the day, grab a bite to eat at Michi-no-Eki Hirose Tomita Castle (道の駅広瀬・富田城), then climb up to the Ruins of Gassan Toda Castle (月山富田城跡), which flourished as the Amago clan's castle during the Warring States period, and enjoy the view from the mountain castle. You'll also stop by the Adachi Museum of Art (足立美術館), known for its garden ranked the best in Japan, and experience traditional crafts at the Hirose Kasuri Center (広瀬絣センター), making for an afternoon full of history and culture. In the evening, move to the riverside on the right bank of the Iinashi River (飯梨川) near Toda Bridge (富田橋) to secure a spot, and have dinner from the festival food stalls. From 20:00, fireworks light up the surface of the Iinashi River, creating an evening full of the atmosphere unique to a summer festival in a castle town. This is the ultimate summer plan for Yasugi, letting you fully enjoy a historical walk, garden viewing, and riverside fireworks.
