About this spot

A beloved summer festival held annually at Higashi-Chitose Self-Defense Force Base. On July 22, 2026 (Wednesday), the base opens to the public from 5 PM, with food stalls and event booths lining the venue. The opportunity to walk through garrison grounds normally off-limits is a treasured experience for both children and adults. As night deepens, festive energy builds toward the grand finale when fireworks light the night sky. A warm community festival bringing together local residents and the self-defense force.
