Tottori Togo Lake Ryujin Festival Lakeside Grand Fireworks

Access

The venue can be reached by either public transportation or car.

By Train

The venue is extremely convenient to access, located approximately 3 minutes on foot from Matsuzaki Station on the JR San-in Main Line. Since you can head straight to the venue as soon as you leave the station, it is also a good option for visitors with young children.

Crowding and the last train home The area around JR Matsuzaki Station is expected to be extremely crowded on the night of the fireworks. The station is particularly busy after the fireworks end, so be sure to allow plenty of time. Special trains may be operated, but we strongly recommend checking the return-train timetable in advance on the official JR website or elsewhere.

By Car

The venue is approximately 5 minutes from the Tomari-Togo IC on the San-in Expressway’s Aoya-Hawai Road. Approximately 400 free parking spaces will be available around the venue, but spaces are limited and heavy traffic is expected, as in previous years. Please consider using public transportation whenever possible.

Traffic restrictions Traffic restrictions will be implemented around the venue on the day of the fireworks. Restrictions are typically in place from 17:00 until around 21:30 or 22:00, so if you plan to drive, it is important to check the latest traffic restriction information on the official Yurihama Town or Suigosai Executive Committee website in advance and familiarize yourself with alternative routes.

Paid Seating and Tickets

There are no paid seats at the Togo Lake Ryujin Festival Lakeside Grand Fireworks. All viewing areas are free and open to the public, and visitors can watch the fireworks from anywhere around Togo Lakeside Park.

Lesser-Known Viewing Spots

In addition to the main venue at Togo Lakeside Park, there are several lesser-known spots that make the most of Togo Lake’s beautiful scenery.

• The elevated area around Roadside Station Hawai The area around “Roadside Station Hawai” includes elevated spots overlooking Togo Lake, making it a recommended place to watch the fireworks. It is ideal for those who want to enjoy the display in a relaxed atmosphere, slightly away from the bustle of the main venue. Since you can see across much of the lake, you can take in the fireworks as a whole.

• Lakeside inns in Hawai Onsen and Togo Onsen Inns at Hawai Onsen and Togo Onsen line the shores of Togo Lake. From lake-facing guest rooms or open-air baths, you can enjoy the luxurious experience of having the fireworks almost entirely to yourself. For those who want to combine their visit with an overnight stay and watch the fireworks from a special vantage point, this is an excellent choice.

• The walking paths along Togo Lake Well-maintained walking paths run along Togo Lake, allowing visitors to leisurely enjoy the fireworks reflected on the water even from spots a little farther from the launch area. These paths are less crowded than the main venue and are recommended for couples and others who want to watch the fireworks in a romantic setting. However, trees and other obstacles may block the view in some places, so it is a good idea to scout the area in advance.
