2026 Saitama City Fireworks Festival, Iwatsuki Cultural Park Venue: Full-Day Enjoyment Course

This course lets you enjoy Iwatsuki, known as the “Town of Dolls,” for a full day, centered around the Saitama City Fireworks Festival at the Iwatsuki Cultural Park Venue, held from 7:30 PM on Saturday, August 22, 2026. During the day, enjoy street food and browsing doll shops at the shopping street in front of Iwatsuki Station, then walk the long approach to worship at Hisaizu Shrine. In the afternoon, stroll around the moats and greenery of Iwatsuki Castle Ruins Park and spend a relaxed time as a family. Toward evening, move to the venue, Iwatsuki Cultural Park, to secure a spot, and fill up on food stalls or a bento. As dusk falls, about 2,500 fireworks color the night sky. This is the definitive summer Saitama plan, letting you fully savor both the atmosphere of a historic castle town and fireworks. The area around the venue gets crowded on the day, so allow plenty of time.
