2026 Ibaraki Bentendo Fireworks Festival Full-Day Course
A course to enjoy Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture for a full day, centered around the Ibaraki Bentendo Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, starting at 7:30 PM. In the daytime, enjoy food stalls and walks at the shopping street in front of Hankyu Ibaraki City Station, then worship as a family in the quiet grounds of Ibaraki Shrine. In the afternoon, stroll along the waterfront and lawn areas of Nishikawara Park and spend a relaxing time with family. In the evening, move to the Bentendo Sect Myōōji Temple grounds where the fireworks will be launched, secure your spot, and have a meal from food stalls or packed lunch. As dusk falls, approximately 3,000 fireworks will illuminate the night sky. This is the definitive summer Ibaraki plan that allows you to greedily enjoy a fireworks festival set at a historic temple that is easily accessible from urban areas. Please note that the area around the venue will be very crowded on the day, so plan to leave with plenty of time.
