Lesser-Known Viewing Spots

Here are several lesser-known spots where you can enjoy the Kamogawa Citizens' Fireworks Festival more comfortably.

• Around the Seaside Promenade:
  The area around the Seaside Promenade, a walkway along Maehara-Yokosuka Beach, is a scenic spot where you can enjoy the magical sight of fireworks reflected beautifully on the water. Its open setting makes it possible to watch the fireworks in relative comfort, making it a popular area. It is also conveniently close to JR Awa-Kamogawa Station.

• Breakwater near Kamogawa Lighthouse:
  This spot is relatively close to the venue and offers an exhilarating view of the fireworks. With an unobstructed outlook across the sea, the fireworks are especially impressive, and you can feel the sound of each blast up close.

• Futomi Beach:
  Located south of Maehara-Yokosuka Beach, Futomi Beach is recommended for those who want to enjoy the fireworks in a relaxed atmosphere away from the main venue. It is a great place to avoid the crowds while making the most of a summer evening.

• Uomizuka Observatory:
  From Uomizuka Observatory, which offers a panoramic view of Kamogawa's urban area, you can watch the fireworks from above, almost as if from a “god's-eye view.” Although it is some distance from the venue, it is ideal for those who want to enjoy the fireworks in a distinctive atmosphere unlike anywhere else.

• Aeon Kamogawa parking lot/rooftop:
  Aeon Kamogawa, located approximately 1km from the launch site, is known as a lesser-known spot with a good view. The fireworks may not feel as powerful from here, but it is a good option for those who want to avoid the crowds and watch at a leisurely pace. However, we recommend checking with the store in advance to confirm whether the rooftop will be open as a viewing area for the 2026 festival.
