2026 Fireworks Commemorating the 400th Anniversary of Kanadaichi Onsen: A Full-Day Enjoyment Course
Centered around the fireworks display held at 8:00 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Kanadaichi Onsen, this course lets you explore the hot spring town of Ninohe City, Iwate Prefecture, over the course of a day. During the day, experience traces of a Sengoku-era mountain castle at the nationally designated historic site of Kunohe Castle Ruins, then take a break at a facility where you can touch wooden toys. In the evening, walk through the Kanadaichi Onsen hot spring area and warm up at a footbath, savoring the atmosphere of the hot spring town that is unique to this milestone 400th-anniversary year. At night, secure a spot around the venue and look up at fireworks coloring the night sky. This is a Ninohe summer day plan that lets you fully enjoy a historical walk, a stroll through the hot spring town, and fireworks. The number of shells has not been officially announced, so please check on the day for details. The event may be canceled or rescheduled in case of severe weather, so it is reassuring to check the organizer's information in advance. It will be a relaxed day for the whole family, fitting for celebrating the 400th anniversary of the springs' discovery.
