2026 The 17th Bankei Summer Festival Grand Fireworks Display: A Full One-Day Course

This full-day course centers on the 17th Bankei Summer Festival Grand Fireworks Display, held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at Sapporo Bankei Ski Area in Sapporo, Hokkaido. At midday, enjoy outdoor play in nature at the summer outdoor park set up on the ski slopes, and in the afternoon, take in a sweeping view of the Sapporo cityscape from the Mt. Moiwa Observation Deck. In the evening, return to the venue, have dinner, and secure a spot to watch the fireworks. Admission is paid (5,000 yen for adults, 3,000 yen for elementary school students, free for preschoolers). As night falls, around 10,000 fireworks, one of the largest displays in Hokkaido, color the night sky. This is a plan representative of a Sapporo summer, combining mountain-valley nature with a dynamic fireworks display.
