Flow of the course

About this spot

This is the main festival of the 'Omura Natsukoshi Festival,' held along JR Omura Station's front street, known as 'Natsukoshi Yume-dori,' and the central shopping district in Omura City. In 2026 it runs from Sunday, August 2, to Monday, August 3, with both days held from 16:00 to 22:00. Night-market stalls line the street, and the lantern-lit shopping district is filled with the liveliest atmosphere of Omura's summer. This course centers on the evening of the first day, August 2. After spending the daytime exploring the castle-town history at Omura Park and Honkyoji Temple, heading out to the night market as the sun sets lets you savor the whole of an Omura summer. Simply strolling and browsing the night stalls with your family makes for a quintessential summer-festival experience.
