2026 Miyako Town Summer Festival: A Full-Day Course

This full-day course centers on the Miyako Town Summer Festival, held on Saturday, August 22, 2026 around Sun Great Miyako (サン・グレートみやこ) in Miyako Town, Fukuoka Prefecture (the festival starts at 4:00 pm and the fireworks from 8:00 pm). During the day, experience the history of Buzen Kokubunji (豊前国分寺), a temple said to have been founded in the Nara period, then visit Ayazuka Kofun (綾塚古墳), where you can view a large stone burial chamber. In the afternoon, cool off at the hot bath facilities and pool of Sun Great Miyako, and in the evening have an early dinner at the farm produce market Keichiku Megumi-no-Sato Miyako Store (京築恵みの郷 みやこ店). As dusk falls, fireworks color the night sky, making this a plan to fully enjoy history-rich Miyako Town in a single day. It's a recommended summer family outing that lets you enjoy both a tour of historic temples and fireworks to your heart's content.
