2026 Watari Furusato Summer Festival: A Full One-Day Course

This one-day course centers on the Watari Furusato Summer Festival, held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, and lets you enjoy the seaside of Watari-cho, Miyagi Prefecture, for a full day. In the daytime, experience local strawberries and seafood at Michi-no-Eki Watari (道の駅わたり), and stroll along the calm seaside around Torinoumi (鳥の海). In the afternoon, enjoy the play equipment and lawn plaza at Torinoumi Park (鳥の海公園) and spend a relaxed time with your family. In the evening, return to the area around Torinoumi Park, the festival venue, to secure a spot, then fill up on food-stall snacks or a packed lunch. Once the sun sets, about 5,000 fireworks color the night sky over the seaside. This is the definitive summer plan for Watari, letting you enjoy both Torinoumi, a symbol of recovery, and the fireworks to the fullest. The area around the venue gets very crowded on the day, so be sure to allow plenty of time.
