Rakumachi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard; Securities Code: 6037), which operates Japan's largest real estate investment platform "Rakumachi" (https://www.rakumachi.jp/), has decided to sponsor the 44th Mikuni Fireworks Festival to be held on August 11, 2026 (Tuesday/Holiday) in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. The "Mikuni Fireworks Festival" is a beloved fireworks display that colors the summer of the Hokuriku region, held at Mikuni Sunset Beach facing the Sea of Japan, and this year marks its 44th occurrence.

About the "Mikuni Fireworks Festival"

The "Mikuni Fireworks Festival" is a fireworks display held every summer at Mikuni Sunset Beach and Kuzuryu River Boat Park in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. It is enjoyed by many people every year as a summer tradition, featuring spectacular two-shaku tama fireworks, underwater fireworks, and musical starmines. "Underwater fireworks" are difficult to execute, involving throwing ignited fireworks shells into the sea, and the beautiful semicircle reflected on the water's surface is a must-see.

Background of Sponsorship

The real estate investment platform "Rakumachi," operated by our company, lists property information from all 47 prefectures, and we conduct business with real estate companies nationwide on a daily basis. As a company that develops its business with the support of people in various regions, we believe it is our social responsibility to contribute to regional development.

"Fireworks festivals," loved by many, are important cultural events that promote regional tourism and foster community cohesion. On the other hand, reports indicate that holding such events is becoming increasingly difficult due to factors such as a decrease in sponsoring companies and rising operational costs.

Therefore, our company has been continuously supporting fireworks festivals in various locations since 2023 with the desire to contribute to the inheritance and development of regional culture. To date, we have sponsored the "Yatsushiro National Fireworks Competition" in Kumamoto Prefecture, the "Yokosuka Kaikoku Fireworks Festival" in Kanagawa Prefecture, the "Miyazaki Noryo Fireworks Festival" in Miyazaki Prefecture, the "Nishi Awa Fireworks" in Tokushima Prefecture, the "Koto Hirosaki Fireworks Gathering" in Aomori Prefecture, the "Todabashi Fireworks Festival" in Saitama Prefecture, and the "Kochi City Noryo Fireworks Festival" in Kochi Prefecture.
