Secure a Spot on the Lakeside and Enjoy a Meal While Watching the Sunset Over Shibayama Lagoon
About this spot
Shibayama Lagoon, adjacent to the Katayamazu Onsen hot spring district, is a calm freshwater lake with a circumference of approximately 14 km. Walking paths are maintained along the shore, where you can leisurely stroll while viewing the floating temple (浮御堂) on the lake. Tonight's fireworks will launch from above this lake, making the lakeside the perfect viewing spot. Secure your spot early, spread out a leisure sheet, and enjoy a meal with the food you've prepared while cooling off in the evening breeze. The time when the lake surface is dyed by the sunset is extraordinarily beautiful, and with hot spring inns reflected on the lake, a distinctive summer evening view of Katayamazu Onsen unfolds. Enjoying this time before the fireworks slowly is a precious moment of the day's course.
Fireworks details
Name: 加賀温泉郷 納涼花火まつり in 片山津温泉
Date & time: 8/1 (Sat)–8/30 (Sun) 毎夜 21:00–21:10頃
Venue: 加賀市・片山津温泉 柴山潟湖上（浮御堂周辺）

加賀温泉郷 納涼花火まつり in 片山津温泉は、2026年8月1日(土)から8月30日(日)まで毎夜21時ごろから約10分間開催される、夏の夜の恒例行事です。打ち上げ場所は柴山潟の湖上で、静かな湖面が花火の光をそのまま映し出す「逆さ花火」が大きな見どころ。湖に浮かぶ浮御堂のシルエットと大輪の花火が重なる構図は、片山津温泉でしか出会えない絵画のような光景です。約200発という数はコンパクトながら、休みなく打ち上がる10分間は密度が高く見ごたえがあります。温泉街の旅館の灯りと湖面の反射が作り出す幻想的な空間で、加賀の夏の夜を存分に味わいましょう。
Tips
荒天時は中止または延期になる場合があるため、当日の開催可否は加賀市または片山津温泉観光協会の公式発表で確認を。花火終了後は湖畔周辺の駐車場や温泉街の道路が混み合うため、すぐに移動せず湖畔で余韻を楽しんでから帰路につくと渋滞を避けやすいです。翌日以降も毎夜開催されるため、悪天候の場合は翌日リベンジも検討を。
Food stalls
Where: 湯之元公園（片山津温泉）
※Announced for 2026. Stall lineups change year to year. Please check the official site for the latest details.
Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
Approximately 10 minutes by car from Kaga Onsen Station, or accessible by bus. On the day of the fireworks, the lakeside parking lot fills up early, so arrive by the early 4 PM slot at the latest. Check the public restrooms at the lakeside. While food stalls may appear, selection is limited, so it is safer to prepare meals in advance.
Best time to visit
Plan for approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. The change in lake surface color before and after sunset and the silhouette of the floating temple are spectacular.
