2026 The 102nd Masuda Fireworks: A Full-Day Course
Centered on the 102nd Masuda Fireworks (第102回増田の花火), held from 7:00 PM on Monday, September 14, 2026, this one-day course lets you thoroughly enjoy Masuda-cho, Yokote City (横手市増田町). At midday, stroll the storehouse street at the Masuda Uchigura (増田の内蔵), designated a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and in the afternoon visit the Yokote City Masuda Manga Museum (横手市増田まんが美術館), known for its original manga art exhibits. Take a leisurely walk down Masuda Asaichi-dori (増田朝市通り) as well, and enjoy the local atmosphere. In the evening, return to the fireworks venue and secure your spot while browsing the food stalls, and at 7:00 PM the traditional fireworks finally color the night sky. It's a greedy one-day plan that lets you enjoy both a historic townscape and fireworks in one go.
