2026 Kamou Summer Festival: A Full One-Day Course

This is a one-day course centered on the Kamou Summer Festival, held from 7 PM on Saturday, August 1, 2026, letting you enjoy a full day in Kamou-cho, Aira City. At midday, visit Kamou Hachiman Shrine to see the great camphor tree of Kamou, known as one of Japan's largest giant trees, and in the afternoon, take a historical stroll through the old town of Kamou-fumoto, where streets still carry the atmosphere of former samurai residences. In the evening, take a break with a light meal in the town center, then head to the festival venue to fill up on food-stall fare while waiting for the show to begin. From 7 PM, fireworks light up the night sky over this mountain-ringed town for a full hour. A summer day unique to Kamou, where you can fully enjoy a giant tree, a historic townscape, and a local summer festival all at once.
