2026 Furusato Kanko Kamiichi Matsuri: A Full One-Day Course
This one-day course puts the spotlight on the Furusato Kanko Kamiichi Matsuri (ふるさと観光上市まつり), held from 20:00 on Thursday, August 13, 2026, around Nishinaka-machi and Hakuryū Bridge (along the banks of the Kamiichi River) in Kamiichi, Toyama Prefecture. At midday, experience the solemn atmosphere of Ōiwayama Nisseki-ji Temple, a renowned temple built around a waterfall, then enjoy a walk and lunch along the shopping street in front of Kamiichi Station. In the afternoon, spend a quiet moment at the historic Ryūsen-ji Temple, surrounded by giant cedars, and in the evening, secure a spot along the banks of the Kamiichi River while having dinner. As night falls at 8 p.m., about 1,000 fireworks light up the river's surface. Packed with a historic temple and shrine tour and fireworks in the night sky, this is a one-day plan fitting for the close of summer in Kamiichi.
