Iwamura Castle Reconstruction Project Furusato Sosei Fireworks

Summary

Held in Iwamura, Ena City, Gifu, on Thursday, August 13, 2026, the Furusato Sosei Fireworks close out the summer fair 'Za Ennichi', staged under the banner of the plan to rebuild Iwamura Castle. From 20:30, about 800 shells rise over 30 minutes from the ground of Iwamura-yu Elementary School, with music-synced fireworks woven into the program, before an expected crowd of about 5,000. The venue is a 10-minute walk from Iwamura Station on the Akechi Railway; free parking totals just 100 spaces at the Iwamura Public Hall and Promotion Office, so the train is the safer way in.

Overview

In Iwamura — a castle town under the Edo-era layer of history — the summer fair 'Za Ennichi' has been carried on together with the grand plan to rebuild Iwamura Castle. Its finale, the Furusato Sosei Fireworks, hands the closing of a day loaded with the town's hopes over to the night sky. From 20:30, about 800 shells launch over 30 minutes from the Iwamura-yu Elementary School ground. Music-synced fireworks are woven in, and in the moments when sound and light line up, the whole venue's air changes. The venue is a 10-minute walk from Iwamura Station on the Akechi Railway. Drivers come about 20 minutes south via Route 257 from the Ena IC on the Chuo Expressway, but free parking is limited to 100 spaces combined at the Iwamura Public Hall and Promotion Office, so the train is the safer choice. With about 5,000 expected, build in a comfortable margin on arrival.
