2026 Night Bubble Show at Mikuriya Shrine (Futami)

Why You Should Visit

A night event at Mikuriya Shrine in Futami, Akashi, where the shrine grounds turn into a dreamy world of bubbles and light. Food trucks, festival food stalls and goods vendors open from 16:00, and the bubble show itself starts once it gets dark. Free entry; cancelled in case of rain. Settle in with street food from the early evening and wait for the bubbles to drift through the lit-up shrine — a family-friendly early-summer night out.
