Summary

The Shojiko Ryokosai festival opens at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, on the north shore of Lake Shoji in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi. As dusk falls, lanterns come alight and 300 fireworks mirror across the lake against the silhouette of Mt. Fuji. The venue sits near Tatehama on the lakeshore, about 40 minutes by bus from Kawaguchiko Station, with 300 free parking spaces.

Overview

One of the Fuji Five Lakes, Shoji provides the stage: lanterns flicker on along the north shore from late afternoon, and the display's 300 shells mirror across the water in front of Mt. Fuji's outline — a pairing unique to the lake. The venue clusters near Tatehama. From Fujikyu Kawaguchiko Station, buses toward Motosuko or Shimonoyu Onsen take about 40 minutes to the Ken-ei Parking Lot stop; by car it is about 30 minutes from Kawaguchiko IC. Parking is free for 300 cars, and the full festival timetable is announced by the organizer.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Be on the shore 30–45 minutes before the festival opens at 5 p.m. Lantern-lighting time draws strollers along the water, so settle on a viewing spot early. Free parking covers 300 cars; the bus from Kawaguchiko Station takes about 40 minutes to the Ken-ei Parking Lot stop. The shoreline turns hard to read after dark — learn your route while it is light.

Best viewing spots

The festival sets up around Tatehama on the north shore, where you can pick a vantage that frames both the fireworks' reflection and Mt. Fuji's silhouette.

With kids

The lakeshore venue runs close to the water — keep an eye on the kids. Footing turns dark at night, so bright clothing and a small light help; ear protection is worth packing for the bursts too.

Photography tips

Reflections on the lake against Mt. Fuji's silhouette give Shoji its signature frame. Light shifts from dusk into night, so a tripod and stepped exposure adjustments keep results steady.

Payment

Viewing is free with no paid seats. Stalls generally take cash — carry plenty of coins. Parking: 300 spaces, free.
