2026 – The 54th Higashikagura Flower Festival (ひがしかぐら花まつり): A Full One-Day Course

This course centers on the 54th Higashikagura Flower Festival (ひがしかぐら花まつり), held on Sunday, August 2, 2026, and lets you enjoy the nature and flowers near Asahikawa (旭川) over a full day. At midday, enjoy a hot spring and lunch at Mori no Yu Hotel Hanakagura (森のゆ ホテル花神楽), adjoining Higashikagura Forest Park (ひがしかぐら森林公園), and in the afternoon, work up a sweat on the athletic course and walking paths in a park surrounded by forest. In the evening, take a stroll and a rest in a garden overflowing with flowers and greenery, then head back to the Minami 1-jō Higashi (南1条東) area, home to the venue Yoshitsune Park (義経公園), to fill up on food stalls and secure your spot. At 8:00 PM, fireworks launch one after another into the night sky, coloring the open sky near Asahikawa (旭川). It's Higashikagura Town's (東神楽町) definitive plan, packing in forest play, a flower tour, and summer fireworks all in one.
