2026 37th Mochigase Fureai Festival 2026: A Full One-Day Course

This is a one-day course centered on the 37th Mochigase Fureai Festival 2026 (もちがせふれあいフェスティバル2026), held on Saturday, August 29, 2026, around Mochigase-cho Sports Park Ikoi Plaza (用瀬町運動公園いこいの広場) in Mochigase-cho, Tottori City. During the day, experience local culture at the Mochigase Nagashibina-no-Yakata (用瀬・流しびなの館), known for the traditional 'nagashi-bina' doll-floating custom. Next, take a leisurely stroll through the old townscape of Mochigase, which once thrived as a post town along the Inaba Kaido (因幡街道). In the afternoon, walk along the riverbank of the Sendai River (千代川) and enjoy the flow of the clear stream and the summer scenery. In the evening, grab a bite in front of Mochigase Station before heading to the festival venue, which opens at 5:00 PM. Fireworks launch from 8:15 PM, lighting up the mountain night sky one after another. While there's no information on the number of shells, the way the sound echoes off the surrounding mountains and river is part of the charm. This is a hidden gem of a summer plan in Tottori, letting you enjoy the history of the Inaba Kaido, a clear river, and fireworks all together. The relaxed, family-friendly scale is also one of this course's charms.
