Yassa Togane Festival — approximately 250 fireworks are launched at the festival finale
Yassa Toganematsuri brings the Togane summer to life on Saturday, August 8, 2026, around Togane Chuo Park and its adjoining streets. The 'Yassa Odori' dance — performed to the rousing 'yassa yassa' call — anchors the day, with stage performances and stalls adding to the festivities; about 6,800 visitors attended in fiscal 2025. The finale sends roughly 250 fireworks into the sky for 20 minutes from 20:10, and the venue is only a five-minute walk from JR Togane Station.
Centered on Togane Chuo Park in downtown Togane, Chiba, this summer festival is built around the 'Yassa Odori', danced by local groups to the 'yassa yassa' call. Stage performances and rows of stalls keep families entertained from late afternoon onward. As the finale, about 250 shells rise between 20:10 and 20:30, closing the day's dancing with light over the park. JR Togane Station is a five-minute walk away, which makes arriving by train pleasantly simple. Drivers can use 200 free spaces at the park, though public transport is officially recommended given the congestion around the festival.
