Hidden Spots

For those who want to enjoy the fireworks while avoiding the crowds, here are several lesser-known viewing spots.

1. Around the Taiwa Town General Gymnasium: Although it is a little farther from the venue, there are few buildings to obstruct the view, so you may be able to see the fireworks relatively clearly. Parking may also be available, but spaces are limited, so arriving early is recommended. View the Taiwa Town General Gymnasium on Google Maps

2. Nanatsumori Lakeside Park: This spot is some distance from the venue, but you may be able to enjoy the fireworks reflected on the lake. Depending on the launch location, however, the view may be difficult to see, so check in advance. Surrounded by nature, it is also a pleasant place to wait for the fireworks with a picnic-like atmosphere. View Nanatsumori Lakeside Park on Google Maps

3. Fields and rice-paddy paths on higher ground: Taiwa has many low hills and fields scattered throughout the area. One option is to look for an unobstructed spot, as long as you do not inconvenience local residents. However, entering private property is strictly prohibited. Bring a flashlight and watch your step.
