2026 Soja Citizens' Festival: Sesshu Festa Fireworks — A Full-Day Course
Centered on the Soja Citizens' Festival Sesshu Festa Fireworks held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, this course spends a full day exploring Soja City, Okayama Prefecture, known as the homeland of the great ink-wash painting master Sesshu. In the daytime, visit the ancient temple where Sesshu spent his childhood and enjoy the view of Kokubunji Temple with its towering five-story pagoda. After a break at a park in the city, pick up dinner at a shopping street in the evening. At night, about 2,500 fireworks color the sky from the Takahashi River riverbed — a day where you can savor both history and nature.
