2026 Fureai Summer Festival in Hyakkengawa: A Full-Day Course

This course centers on the Fureai Summer Festival in Hyakkengawa (ふれあい夏祭りin百間川) held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, letting you enjoy the history and nature of Okayama City (岡山市) for a full day. At midday, tour the pond-and-circuit garden at Okayama Korakuen (岡山後楽園), one of Japan's Three Great Gardens, then learn about the castle town's history at the keep of Okayama Castle (岡山城). In the afternoon, stroll along the riverbed of the Asahi River (旭川) toward the venue, and in the evening fill up on food from the night stalls while waiting for the show to begin. From 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., fireworks are launched into the night sky around the Hyakken River Green Space (百間川緑地) (near Kanshita Bridge (神下橋)). It's a one-day plan unique to Okayama City, letting you fully enjoy a famous garden, a castle, and a community fireworks show all in one.
