2026 Nii Suwa Shrine Donated Fireworks Festival - Full Day Experience Course

Featuring the Nii Suwa Shrine Donated Fireworks Festival (新居諏訪神社奉納煙火祭礼) held on July 25, 2026 (Saturday) from 7:15 PM, this one-day course lets you fully enjoy the post town of Nii on the shores of Lake Hamana from noon onward. In the midday, visit the Nii Checkpoint, the only existing checkpoint building on the Tokaido, and experience the history of travelers during the Edo period. Next, visit Suwa Shrine, the main venue of tonight's festival, and feel the excitement of the summer festival in its grounds. In the afternoon, venture out to the shores of Lake Hamana and spend a relaxed time refreshed by the breeze crossing the lake. In the evening, secure your spot while obtaining dinner from nearby vendors, then wait as the sun sets. From 7:15 PM to 9 PM, fireworks dedicated to Suwa Shrine illuminate the night sky of Nii. A fantastic one-day plan unique to Lake Hamana where you can freely enjoy both a historical walk through a post town and fireworks dedicated to a shrine.
