About traffic restrictions

The fireworks are scheduled to finish at around 21:00, but congestion may delay your arrival at the station. If you plan to use public transportation, we strongly recommend checking the last train schedule in advance.
Paid Seating and Tickets
There are no paid viewing areas at the Asa Fireworks Festival. Everyone can watch the fireworks for free from any spot they choose. The main venue along the Asa River becomes extremely crowded, so visitors who want a good view are advised to secure a spot early.
Lesser-Known Viewing Spots
Because the launch site and viewing areas are close together, you can enjoy powerful fireworks from almost anywhere at the Asa Fireworks Festival. Here are 3 particularly recommended lesser-known viewing spots.
Sakura Hot Park (around Kamo Bridge) Located around Kamo Bridge, a short distance from the main venue along the Asa River, Sakura Hot Park is a spot where you can enjoy the fireworks in a relatively relaxed atmosphere. The reflections on the river are also beautiful, making it a good choice for those who want to avoid the bustle of the main venue.
The elevated area around Asa Tenmangu Shrine From the elevated area around Asa Tenmangu Shrine, you can look down over the town of Asa while watching the fireworks. It is somewhat farther from the launch site, but the unobstructed view offers an expansive perspective of the entire display. This spot is particularly recommended for those who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy the fireworks in a peaceful setting.
Monomiyama General Park Monomiyama General Park, located a little way from the banks of the Asa River, is another lesser-known spot suitable for watching the fireworks. Because it is on higher ground, the fireworks will appear more distant, but you may be able to enjoy them from an unobstructed panoramic viewpoint. It is worth considering if you are visiting with family or would like to spend the evening in a spacious area.
