2026 Nara District Panasonic Festival (奈良地区パナソニックまつり): A Full One-Day Course

This is a one-day course centered on the Nara District Panasonic Festival (奈良地区パナソニックまつり), held on Friday, July 24, 2026, around Tsutsui-cho in Yamatokoriyama City. At midday, tour Koriyama Castle Ruins (郡山城跡), the symbol of Yamatokoriyama, also known as a town of goldfish, then experience the history of indigo dyeing at Hakomotokan Konya (箱本館「紺屋」), which retains traces of the old castle town. In the afternoon, take a leisurely stroll through the lush mountain grounds of Yatadera Temple (矢田寺), also loved as a spot famous for hydrangeas. In the evening, head to the area in front of Tsutsui Station (筒井駅), near the venue, to have dinner and wait for the show to begin. As night falls, watch the fireworks launch into the night sky over Tsutsui, an area of homes and rice paddies. This is a summer day plan full of Yamatokoriyama's historic charm, touring the castle ruins, old townscape, and a quiet old temple. The number of fireworks launched is not published, but the area's homey, community-rooted atmosphere is the charm.
