Summary
On Sunday, July 26, 2026, the Goshoko Festival brings roughly 4,000 fireworks to Lake Goshoko by the Tsunagi Onsen district of Morioka, Iwate, with the display running from 19:45 for about 30 minutes. Before nightfall, the lakeside outdoor stage hosts Sansa Odori dance, taiko and the Tsunagi mikoshi, and the evening fireworks close out the festival. The venue is about 10 minutes by taxi from JR Shizukuishi Station or 20 minutes from Morioka Station, and 900 free parking spaces are available.
Overview
The festival fireworks cap a full day at the hot-spring district: while daytime events unfold on the outdoor stage facing the lake, the evening finale sends about 4,000 shells over Lake Goshoko between 19:45 and 20:15. Most visitors come by car — about 15 minutes from the Tohoku Expressway Morioka IC — and 900 free spaces are provided, though the roads around the lake grow congested during the display, so leave margin in your schedule. Taxis from Morioka or Shizukuishi Station work well for train travelers. The Tsunagi Onsen tourism association posts the latest schedule on its official site.
