Hidden Viewing Spots

There are several spots around Nanbu Town Fureai Park where you can enjoy the fireworks in a relatively relaxed setting.

1. Around Nanbu Town Hall: Although it is a little farther from the venue, the area around Nanbu Town Hall offers an open view of the fireworks. It is recommended for those who want to avoid the crowds at the venue. However, parking is limited, so using public transportation and traveling early is necessary.
2. Mabuchi River riverbank (slightly downstream from the venue): The riverbank along the Mabuchi River, which flows near Nanbu Town Fureai Park, has plenty of open space and is suitable for spreading out a leisure sheet while watching the fireworks. Although it is slightly off from the spot directly in front of the venue, there are few obstructions, allowing you to enjoy the fireworks at a leisurely pace. However, the area becomes dark underfoot, so bringing a flashlight is recommended.
3. Upland fields (southwest of the venue): Low hills and fields spread out southwest of Nanbu Town Fureai Park. Known locally as a hidden viewing area, some spots allow you to watch the fireworks from a distance, looking down over them. However, entering private property is strictly prohibited. Choose a safe location that does not obstruct traffic.
