2026: 64th Kucchan Potato Festival 2026 1-Day Full Experience Course

Centered on the 64th Kucchan Potato Festival 2026 held on Sunday, August 2, 2026, this one-day course lets you enjoy Kucchan, Abuta District, Hokkaido. Start at noon in front of JR Kucchan Station admiring the majestic Yotei Mountain, then visit the Kucchan Local History Museum to learn about the town's development through pioneer settlement and potato cultivation. Spend the afternoon playing freely in Ezo Fuji View Park with views of Yotei Mountain, and enjoy the sight of the mountain reflected in the quiet lake at Hangetsu Lake Nature Park. In the evening, have dinner in town while waiting for sunset, and at 7:30 PM, the summer fireworks festival of Kucchan—the potato town—begins. The fireworks rising into the clear, high-altitude highland night sky at the foot of Yotei Mountain reflect the landscape unique to Kucchan, a town developed through pioneer settlement and potato cultivation. This is a one-day plan to fully enjoy Kucchan summer with nature, history, and the local festival combined.
