With the Tsushima Izuhara Minato Matsuri Fireworks Festival, held on Sunday, August 2, 2026, as the highlight, this course lets you enjoy Izuhara, the center of the border island of Tsushima, for a full day. At midday, learn about the island's history at the Tsushima Museum, and in the afternoon, experience the solemn cedar avenue at Banshoin, the family temple of the So clan. Stroll through the castle town lined with stone walls, and stop by the Ofunae Historic Site, which tells the history of the Tsushima Domain. In the evening, enjoy festival food stalls around Izuhara Port while waiting for nightfall, and from 21:00, fireworks color the night sky over the port. It's a summer day unique to Tsushima, letting you fully enjoy both a stroll through a historic castle town and the excitement of a port festival.
