2026 Gonokawa Festival Fireworks: A Full-Day Course
This course centers on the Gonokawa Festival held on Sunday, August 16, 2026, and lets you spend a full day enjoying Gotsu City, the town at the mouth of the Gonokawa River, one of the Chugoku region's great rivers. During the day, savor the bounty of the sea and river at Michi-no-Eki Sun-Pico Gotsu, stroll through the nostalgic streets of Gotsu Honmachi, and relax at the Gotsu riverside along the Gonokawa River. In the evening, cool off and secure your spot near Gotsu Port while grabbing a bite to eat. Once night falls, take in the fireworks rising into the night sky from the mouth of the Gonokawa River at a leisurely pace. This plan combines the scale of a great river with the charm of a port town, making it a fitting way to close out summer.
