Less-Crowded Viewing Spots

In Misato, surrounded by mountains, there are several less-crowded spots where you can enjoy the fireworks away from the main venue.

1. Around Oserino Falls: Located approximately 1km off National Route 327, the area around Oserino Falls is a scenic spot where you can enjoy the combination of fireworks and nature. Fireworks launched against the backdrop of the approximately 70m-high, three-tiered waterfall create a magical sight. Parking is available, making it convenient to reach by car, but be sure to bring insect repellent.

2. In front of Misato Town Hall: Located relatively close to the venue, approximately a 6-minute walk (approximately 440m) away, the area in front of Misato Town Hall is recommended for visitors who want to avoid the crowds and watch the fireworks in a relaxed setting. The town hall parking lot is also available, making this a convenient option for those arriving by car.

3. Around Toshinokami Shrine: The area around Toshinokami Shrine, a little farther from the fireworks venue, is an ideal hidden spot for those who want to quietly take in the sound and light of the fireworks. The thunderous booms of the fireworks echo through the mountains, allowing you to experience the festival atmosphere in a calm setting.
