2026 Otsuka Akiba-san Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course

This course centers on the Otsuka Akiba-san Fireworks Festival, held on Thursday, July 23, 2026 at 8:30 p.m., and spends a full day exploring the traditional culture of Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture. During the day, visit a museum that tells the history of “tatara” ironmaking to touch the story behind the birthplace of Japanese swords, and enjoy traditional performing arts at a hall introducing the locally passed-down “Yasugi-bushi.” In the afternoon, move your body and take a break at Yasugi Sports Park. In the evening, secure a spot near the venue and wait for the show to begin while enjoying dinner. At night, about 1,500 fireworks color the sky. It's a summer day plan in Yasugi where you can fully enjoy both traditional culture and fireworks. Since the event may be canceled in case of bad weather, it's a good idea to check the organizer's information in advance.
