2026 Yahiko Lantern Festival Memorial Fireworks 1-Day Full Experience

On July 25, 2026 (Saturday), this 1-day course centers on the Yahiko Lantern Festival Memorial Fireworks held at Yahiko Park in Yahiko Village, Niigata. In the morning, visit Yahiko Shrine, Echigo's first shrine, and immerse yourself in the sacred atmosphere and lush forest. Enjoy the scenic beauty of Maple Valley in Yahiko Park, then take the ropeway in the afternoon to view Sado Island and the Sea of Japan from the mountain top. In the evening, have an early dinner in the hot spring town while securing your viewing spot. At 20:00, approximately 250 fireworks illuminate the night sky over Yahiko Park, creating a solemn and beautiful scene unique to the lantern festival. This is a complete 1-day plan to enjoy the shrine, mountains, and fireworks typical of the foothills of Echigo's sacred mountains.
