A full-day course through nature-rich Kawara Town along the Sendai River (Chiyo River), centered around the 44th Kawara Town Ayu Festival, which starts at 8:15 PM on August 1, 2026 in Kawara Town. Start with lunch at the roadside station overlooking the clear stream, then spend the afternoon at Kawara Castle, whose castle-like appearance catches your eye, enjoying history and panoramic views. Continue to explore the gorge beauty of Mitaki Gorge and visit Yamabiko Hall, which introduces local history. Late afternoon, enjoy local food stalls at the riverside while waiting for the show to begin. Approximately 3,000 fireworks paint the night sky above the clear Sendai River (Chiyo River), a refreshing finale befitting the Ayu Festival.
