2026 Misasa Onsen Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course

Centered on the Misasa Onsen Fireworks Festival held in Misasa Onsen, Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture on Monday, July 20, 2026, this course lets you spend a full day enjoying a hot-spring town famed for its radium springs. At midday, stroll leisurely through the Misasa Onsen district, where hot-spring inns line the Mitoku River, and take in the view of Kawara-buro, the famous open-air bath that wells up on the riverbank. At the historic Misasa Bridge, enjoy commemorative photos with the clear stream and mountains as a backdrop, and in the afternoon, savor a walk along the Mitoku River promenade while listening to the murmuring stream. In the evening, return to the onsen district, lined with summer-festival night stalls, and have dinner while waiting for the fireworks. The Misasa Onsen Fireworks Festival is held almost every night through the summer, from July 20-24 and July 27-31, with fireworks launching from the Mitoku riverbed upstream of Koidani Bridge for just five minutes, from 8:25 to 8:30 p.m. The sight of fireworks concentrated into such a short time coloring the night sky in the mountain valley has a beauty unique to a hot-spring town nestled in a gorge. This is a compact summer plan for Misasa Onsen that lets you enjoy both a stroll through the hot-spring town and fireworks in the mountains.
