2026 Nichihara Ayu Festival Fireworks 2026: A Full-Day Course
This course centers on the Nichihara Ayu Festival Fireworks held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, and lets you spend a full day enjoying the Nichihara district of Tsuwano, known for the clear Takatsu River. During the day, experience local bounty at Michi-no-Eki Silk Way Nichihara, take in the scenery where the clear stream begins at Orochigaike Pond, the headwaters of the Takatsu River in Yoshika-cho, and enjoy dishes made with wild ayu at Mikadoya, a restaurant in Nichihara. In the evening, cool off in the town of Nichihara while grabbing a bite and securing your spot. Once night falls, take in the fireworks rising into the night sky from the banks of the clear river at a leisurely pace. This day, combining the bounty of a pristine river with fireworks in a mountain village, is a fitting way to close out summer.
