67th Fuefuki River Prefectural Summer Fireworks Festival - Overwhelmed by fireworks blooming across the entire night sky
On Saturday, July 25, 2026, about 5,000 shells fire over roughly 80 minutes from 19:30 along the Fuefuki River below the Manriki Ohashi bridge in Yamanashi City, Yamanashi. The clear stream and the green of the Manriki woods set the backdrop, and a 'celebration fireworks' program marks personal milestones such as wedding anniversaries, 60th birthdays and proposals. JR Yamanashi-shi Station is a 5-minute walk away. Note that from 2026 the official parking lot requires advance reservation and a fee (about 1,000 yen per car planned).
A large midsummer display on the Yamanashi City riverbed, with about 5,000 shells filling the evening sky. The pairing of fireworks with the clear Fuefuki River and the deep green of the Manriki woods gives the show its scenery, and the 'celebration fireworks' scheme keeps the event close to local hearts. JR Yamanashi-shi Station is a 5-minute walk from the venue, which favors arriving by train. Drivers come about 15 minutes from the Chuo Expressway Ichinomiya-Misaka IC, but from 2026 the official lot (1,200 spaces) is reservation-only and paid — about 1,000 yen per car — with some free lots remaining. The change aims to ease congestion, so book ahead. Food stalls are set up on site.
