2026 Ishidoriya Dream Festival - Full Day Course

A full-day course to enjoy Ishidoriya Town in Hanamaki City, known as the birthplace of the Nanbu Toji (master sake brewers), centered around the Ishidoriya Dream Festival held on August 13, 2026 (Thursday). At midday, take a break at Michi no Eki Ishidoriya (Ishidoriya Rest Area) while browsing local agricultural products and regional sake. At the Nanbu Toji Heritage Museum, learn the techniques and history passed down by master sake brewers. Explore Showa Bridge Park (大正橋公園), the venue for the fireworks festival, during daylight hours, and spend a leisurely time along the banks of the Kitakami River. In the evening, secure your spot while having dinner on the riverbed. At 7 PM, approximately 5,000 fireworks burst into the night sky above the Kitakami River, delivering a spectacular finale on the open riverbed stage. This is the ultimate summer plan for Ishidoriya, packed with both a historical tour of the Nanbu Toji and the impressive fireworks by the river.
