2026 Morita Fireworks (Morita Festival) Full-Day Course

This full-day course centers on the Morita Fireworks (Morita Festival), held at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 26, 2026 on the banks of the Kuzuryu River in Fukui City, and lets you enjoy everything from a walk around the prefectural capital of Fukui to the fireworks. At midday, enjoy a walk around town near Fukui Station viewing the dinosaur monuments, then experience the cool scenery of the pond-centered strolling garden at Yokokan Garden, an Edo-period feudal lord's garden. Next, enjoy a historical walk connected to a warlord at the Kitanosho Castle Ruins and Shibata Park. In the evening, pick up dinner and claim a spot near the venue on the banks of the Kuzuryu River while waiting for nightfall. At 8 p.m., about 3,000 fireworks launch one after another into the night sky, reaching their finale amid the warm atmosphere unique to a community-rooted summer festival. This is the definitive plan for a Fukui summer, combining a walk through Fukui's history with fireworks coloring the night sky over the riverside as much as you like. The area around the venue gets crowded after dark, so plan to allow yourself plenty of time.
