－Itinerary Introduction－

Shinmei Fireworks Festival
The Shinmei Fireworks Festival is the largest fireworks event in Yamanashi, launching approximately 20,000 fireworks each year and drawing around 200,000 visitors. The local fireworks craftsmanship dates back to the Takeda clan's rule and was used to honor the gods during the Edo period under the name "Ichikawa Fireworks Festival," once regarded as one of Japan's top three fireworks events.
The highlight is the massive Ni-shaku-dama fireworks, bursting 500 meters wide in the sky, synchronized with music, transforming Yamanashi’s night sky into a spectacular garden of lights.
＊This tour includes reserved seating on steps; please bring a picnic mat for comfort.
＊Before the fireworks, you will have free time to explore local food stalls and shopping streets.
＊As the venue will be crowded, please keep your valuables with you at all times.
＊Dinner will be a specially prepared Yamanashi bento box.

【Important Notes for First-Time Fireworks Visitors】

• As the festival is held in summer, please prepare sun protection items.

• Expect large crowds; please wear comfortable shoes and clothing.

• Bring your own trash bags, tissues, and wet wipes to keep the area clean.

• Bring a small flashlight or other lighting equipment for safety after dark.

• Mobile networks may be congested due to the large number of attendees.

• Drones are prohibited for safety reasons.

• After the event, the bus will depart for the hotel, arriving around midnight.

All-You-Can-Eat Kyoho Grape Picking
Known as the "Fruit Kingdom," Yamanashi boasts the highest grape production in Japan. In summer, savor the fresh, juicy Kyoho grapes at a local orchard!
Kyoho grapes are large, dark purple, extremely sweet (sugar content of 18–20 degrees), firm, and juicy with a rich aroma and flavor, balanced by a gentle tartness. Some varieties are seedless. Despite the emergence of new varieties, Kyoho grapes remain consistently popular.

Ōmuroyama Ropeway
Ōmuroyama, a dormant volcano standing 580 meters tall, is a designated National Natural Monument and one of the "Eight Views of Ito." Covered in lush greenery during spring and summer, it is nicknamed "Matcha Mountain."
The ropeway ride takes about 4 minutes, offering views of the swaying grasslands below.
From the 300-meter-diameter summit, enjoy sweeping views of Izu city and the Kadowaki Coast. There are also charming shops selling local souvenirs.
※In case of ropeway closure due to strong winds, a partial refund will be provided and the itinerary will be changed to free time at Ito MARION TOWN.

Kadowaki Coast
Formed by lava from the Ōmuroyama eruption 4,000 years ago, the Kadowaki Coast features dramatic volcanic rock formations along the Pacific Ocean.
Stroll through forested areas and cross the thrilling Kadowaki Suspension Bridge for an unforgettable adventure!

Hakone Shrine
With a history of over 1,200 years, Hakone Shrine is one of the most revered power spots in Japan's Kanto region. Famous warlords like Minamoto no Yoritomo and Tokugawa Ieyasu once prayed here for victory.
The must-visit attraction is the grand torii gate standing in Lake Ashi, an iconic photo spot loved by both locals and visitors from around the world.
※Due to popularity, taking photos at the torii gate may not always be possible depending on the schedule.
