Overview

The Tohma Banryu Festival is the biggest summer festival of Tohma Town, Hokkaido, held on August 2, 2026 — its 33rd edition. Rooted in the dragon legend of the Tohma Limestone Cave, the festival features the local Banryu Daiko drumming and the Ryu-odori dance modeled on Nagasaki Kunchi, with stalls adding to the bustle. The finale is a compact burst of about 120 shells launched over ten minutes (19:55-20:05) from the special venue in front of the Matomaaru community center. The small scale means you can watch the fireworks comfortably close by. The venue is about five minutes by taxi from JR Tohma Station, or 15 minutes by car from the Do-o Expressway Asahikawa-Kita IC via Route 39. Free temporary parking for 550 cars is available.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

The fireworks start at 19:55 and last only about 10 minutes, so be at the venue 30-45 minutes ahead — arriving late means missing it. The festival runs from daytime, so coming early to enjoy the stalls and performances is also a good option.

With kids

The venue sits close to public roads — pick a viewing spot away from the walkways. It gets dark underfoot at night, so a small flashlight adds peace of mind.

Photography tips

The launch site is close, so even phones capture the shells large. With such a short program, set your shooting mode beforehand so you don't miss the moment.

Payment

Viewing is free, and the 550-space temporary parking is free as well. Stalls generally take cash, so carry coins.
