2026 Nyukawa Summer Festival: A Full One-Day Course

Centered on the Nyukawa Summer Festival held on Saturday, August 1, 2026 at the Nyukawa Branch Office Plaza (丹生川支所広場) in Nyukawa-cho, Takayama City, this course lets you fully enjoy a day in a mountain town of Hida. During the day, feel the quiet air of a mountain temple at Senkoji Temple (千光寺), known for its Enku Buddha statues, and imagine Jomon-period life from the reconstructed pit dwellings at the Dōnojō Site (堂之上遺跡). After browsing local specialties at the roadside station Michi-no-Eki Mondeus Hida Kuraiyama (道の駅モンデウス飛騨位山), head to the festival venue at the Nyukawa Branch Office Plaza in the evening. Enjoy the lively summer festival with food stalls and Bon dance while waiting for the show, as fireworks color the mountain-valley night sky for 15 minutes. This is the definitive summer plan for Nyukawa, combining a stroll through Hida's history with fireworks.
