2026 The 33rd Kameyama Sekijuku Cooling Fireworks Festival: A Full One-Day Course

This full-day course centers on the 33rd Kameyama Sekijuku Cooling Fireworks Festival, held on the banks of the Suzuka River in Seki-cho, Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture, on Saturday, August 22, 2026. In the midday hours, take a leisurely walk through the old townscape of Sekijuku, known as a post town on the Tokaido, then after visiting Jizoin temple, enjoy a historical stroll through the park at the ruins of Kameyama Castle. In the evening, head to the fireworks venue on the banks of the Suzuka River. Viewing requires a ticket (1,500 yen; no ticket needed for children under elementary school age), with the gate opening at 5:00 PM and the fireworks starting at 7:15 PM (tickets for 2026 have been announced as sold out). This is a perfect day for history-loving families who want to enjoy both a townscape that retains the atmosphere of the Edo period and riverside fireworks. It is a plan that lets you savor the full charm of Kameyama, from a stroll along an old highway to a summer night sky.
