Summary
The 55th Toyoura Summer Festival is held Saturday, August 1, 2026, at the special venue on the Yume Mart Kawadana parking lot in Toyoura-cho, Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi. As the festival's finale, about 1,500 shells rise for 20 minutes from 20:00, before a crowd of about 5,000. Stage events and stalls enliven the gathering, which sits 30 minutes on foot from JR Kawatana-Onsen Station — with a free shuttle bus from the Toyoura general branch office of Shimonoseki City Hall. Free parking totals 540 spaces across the venue area and the shuttle terminal, in a seaside summer evening in the town of Kawatana Onsen.
Overview
A summer tradition of Toyoura-cho continued over generations, the festival fills its special venue with stage events and stalls. Spending the day easing travel fatigue at Kawatana Onsen — a hot spring boasting 800 years of history — before drifting to the festival in the evening is a rhythm particular to this town. As the festival's close, about 1,500 fireworks rise for 20 minutes from 20:00. The venue on the Yume Mart Kawadana parking lot is a 30-minute walk from JR Kawatana-Onsen Station on the Sanin Line, and a free shuttle bus runs from the Toyoura general branch office of Shimonoseki City Hall — combining the two works well. Free parking covers 540 spaces in total: 300 around the special venue and 240 near the shuttle-bus terminal. Attendance runs about 5,000, and the latest information is on the City of Shimonoseki's official page.
