Lesser-Known Viewing Spots

Because the area around Tomari Shinminato is where the fireworks are launched, the venue and its surroundings become extremely crowded. Here are 3 spots where you may be able to enjoy the fireworks in a more relaxed setting.

1. Hisui Coast (Miyazaki-Sakai Coast): Located several kilometers east of Tomari Shinminato, Hisui Coast is a scenic area known for its beautiful shoreline. Although it is some distance from the launch site, there are few obstructions, so you may be able to enjoy a wide view of the fireworks spreading across the night sky over Toyama Bay. The coast is relatively open, making it possible to spread out a leisure sheet and relax. However, the sound of the fireworks may not carry as strongly as it does at the venue.

2. Elevated areas around Asahi Town Hall: Several elevated spots around Asahi Town Hall offer views overlooking Tomari Shinminato. From these locations, you can take in the fireworks from above and enjoy the contrast between the port’s nightscape and the colorful bursts. Be careful not to enter private property or restricted areas, and it is important to identify an appropriate location in advance using a map or other resources.

3. Nearby roadside stations and parks: Michi-no-Eki Asahi, located a short distance from Tomari Shinminato, and nearby parks may also serve as lesser-known viewing spots. These facilities often have parking lots and restrooms, making them suitable for families. While the fireworks may not feel as powerful as they do at the venue, these spots are a good option for those who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy the display in a more peaceful setting. However, visibility varies by location, so be sure to check in advance.

These lesser-known spots may also become crowded on the day of the event. Secure your place early, observe proper etiquette, and enjoy the fireworks.
