The 62nd Isawa Onsen Fireworks Festival Has Been Confirmed!
The 62nd Isawa Onsen Fireworks Festival is officially Done.
On Saturday, August 22, 2026, vivid fireworks will light up the night sky over the Fuefuki River riverbed. Admission is free, and this beloved event is a highlight of summer in Isawa Onsen.
In addition, “Fuefuki River Isawa Ukai (Cormorant Fishing)” will be held on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Wednesday, July 22 to Saturday, August 15. You can watch traditional walking cormorant fishing up close—a practice that has continued since the Heian period.
Starting today, June 1, reservations are also open for the “Usho Experience.” This rare program—one of the few in The whole country—lets you enter the river alongside a master cormorant fisherman and learn how to handle the birds. Limited to two groups per day; please apply early if you are interested.
