2026 Hyakka Ryōran Fireworks - Kinugawa Enka -: A Full One-Day Course

This course lets you spend a full day at the Kinugawa Onsen hot spring resort in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, centered on the Hyakka Ryōran Fireworks - Kinugawa Enka - (百華繚乱花火～鬼怒川焔火～), held on specific dates mainly on Saturdays from August to October, starting with August 1, 2026 (Saturday). At midday, walk through the dynamic nature of Ryuokyo Valley (龍王峡), known for its beautiful gorge. On the Kinugawa River Boat Cruise (鬼怒川ライン下り), enjoy the thrill of the rapids alongside the boatman's skillful poling. In the afternoon, tour the miniature world of famous buildings from around the world at Tobu World Square (東武ワールドスクウェア), and in the evening, enjoy a meal and a foot bath in the Kinugawa Onsen hot spring town while waiting for nightfall. Once the sun sets, head to the venue at the Kinu Tateiwa Grand Suspension Bridge (鬼怒楯岩大吊橋) to secure a spot. At 20:45, fireworks launch into the night sky over the gorge where the suspension bridge stands, coloring the night of Kinugawa for about 8 minutes. The sound of the fireworks echoing off the steep gorge walls, together with the light reflected on the river surface, offers a viewing experience full of hot-spring-town atmosphere. Packed with the natural beauty of the gorge, a theme park, and the charm of a hot spring town, this is a signature one-day plan for summer at Kinugawa Onsen.
