2026 Fukuyama Summer Festival - Full Day Course

A one-day course that celebrates Fukuyama's summer with the "Fukuyama Summer Festival" opening day (August 13, 2026) as the highlight, where you can walk and enjoy the area around Fukuyama Station. In the daytime, start your exploration from Fukuyama Castle Park towering in front of the station, touch art at the Fukuyama Museum of Art, and offer prayers for family safety at Kusado Inari Shrine with its striking crimson shrine building. In the evening, take an early dinner at Fukuyama Station's Ichibancho Shopping Arcade to cool down, and at 5 PM sharp, the city center transforms into pure festival mode. Surrounded by the sound of drums and the glow of lanterns, you can fully savor Fukuyama's summer night in the city center, just steps from the station. This family-friendly course has short travel distances and is ideal for outings by train.
