Why You Should Visit
A summer festival held along Kasumihama Beach and at Shiokaze Kaen park in Kami Town, northern Hyogo Prefecture, now in its 49th year. On Saturday, July 25, 2026, the seafront comes alive with an offshore fireworks display as the main draw, alongside the local tarai-kogi (washtub rowing) race, a children's event, a flea market, and rows of food stalls. With fireworks blooming over the night sea, it is a relaxed seaside festival the whole family can enjoy.
