The official 2026 notice for the Shojiko Ryoko Festival gives both the overall program window and a short fireworks slot. Visitors should arrive for the lakeside program rather than treating this as a long standalone fireworks show.

Short answerThe event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 7:40 PM at Tatego-hama beach on Lake Shoji. Fireworks are listed from 7:15 PM to 7:30 PM.

Plan For A Short Fireworks Window

The published fireworks slot is 15 minutes, while the event begins more than three hours earlier.

What Has Not Yet Been Published

The current official page does not provide an event-specific parking map, traffic restrictions, shuttle service, detailed stage schedule, or cancellation procedure. The organizer says details will be updated, so these items remain unconfirmed.

Traveler Actions

  • Use “Lake Shoji Tatego-hama” as the venue reference and confirm the final organizer map before departure.
  • Arrive well before 7:15 PM because the fireworks window lasts only 15 minutes.
  • Recheck the official page for parking, access, and weather information.
  • Bring a light layer and a small light for the lakeside after sunset.
  • Respect viewing boundaries, local residents, and temporary event instructions.
