2026 Asahikawa Summer Festival 74th Michishin Cooling Fireworks Festival Full Day Experience

A full-day course experiencing everything Asahikawa, Hokkaido's second-largest city, centered on the 74th Michishin Cooling Fireworks Festival held at the Ishikari River banks in Asahikawa City (between Asahi Bridge and Shin Bridge) starting at 7:45 PM on July 30, 2026. At noon, savor local cuisine at Asahikawa Ramen Village. In the afternoon, encounter polar bears and penguins at Asahiyama Zoo, one of Japan's most representative zoos. During summer, the zoo operates in the evening, allowing you to witness active animal behavior before heading to the venue—a unique Asahikawa experience. Combined with a stroll through Kaimono Park, spend the evening relaxing by the Ishikari River banks while awaiting the show. Approximately 4,000 fireworks will illuminate the Ishikari River alongside Asahi Bridge's night scenery, creating a perfect finale to Asahikawa's summer. An ideal plan for families wanting to enjoy both the zoo and fireworks.
