Yasaka Shrine Reitaisai Summer Festival Venue

Flow of the course

About this spot

At Yasaka Shrine (八坂神社) in Iwakiri, Miyagino Ward, Sendai City, the Reitaisai Summer Festival is traditionally held every year on the last Saturday and Sunday of July. Beloved as a festival for the local guardian shrine, dedicatory fireworks have been launched in some past years. Since information available in advance about the 2026 event program and whether fireworks will take place is limited, please check the shrine's announcements or on-site information on the day. After a full day enjoying a walk through Sendai and the rural hills of Iwakiri, this is a special way to end the day with a community-rooted festival night.

Tips

The event program varies from year to year, so check the information on the day. The shrine grounds are adjacent to a residential area, so please be mindful of your manners while watching. The road to the nearest station may get crowded after the event ends, so staggering your departure home is recommended.

Best time to visit

Time your visit for the evening festival hours (typically around 8:00 PM). To avoid crowds, arrive early and check out the shrine grounds first.
