2026 Sayo-cho Nanko Sunflower Festival Fireworks Full-Day Course
This course centers on the Sayo-cho Nanko Sunflower Festival Fireworks Display (佐用町南光ひまわり祭り花火大会), held on Sunday, August 2, 2026, around Nanko Sports Park (Wakaayu Land) (南光スポーツ公園（若あゆランド）) in Sayo-cho, Sayo District, and lets you enjoy a full day in the mountain town of Sayo-cho. In the daytime, enjoy summer scenery at the Nanko Sunflower Field (南光ひまわり畑) in full bloom and interact with insects at the Sayo-cho Insect Museum (佐用町昆虫館). After browsing local vegetables and souvenirs at Michi-no-Eki Shukubamachi Hirafuku (道の駅宿場町ひらふく), cool off by the river at Wakaayu Land (若あゆランド) in the evening and fill up on food. Once the sun sets, move to Nanko Sports Park and look up at about 600 fireworks over the mountain-ringed night sky. Packed with sunflowers, river play, and fireworks, this is the definitive summer plan for Sayo-cho. It's a summer festival long beloved locally, bustling with families.
