Lesser-Known Viewing Spots
The main venue at Otagawa Riverside Park becomes very lively, but for those who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy the fireworks in a more relaxed setting, here are three lesser-known spots also used by local residents.
- Along the embankment on the south side of the Ota River Located across the river from the venue, this area is a quiet viewing spot known among local residents. Away from the bustle of the main venue, you can watch the fireworks in a calm atmosphere. Although it is a little farther from the launch site, it offers a wide view of the entire display.
- The rural area near Towata Station Within walking distance of Towata Station on the Tenryu Hamanako Railway, this rural area has few buildings to obstruct the view, making it a hidden gem for watching the fireworks unobstructed. You may even be able to enjoy the magical sight of the fireworks reflected in the rice paddies.
- The elevated area around Mori Town Cultural Hall There are several elevated spots around Mori Town Cultural Hall from which you can look out over the fireworks. Since they are a little farther from the venue, they are ideal for avoiding the crowds while enjoying the large fireworks blooming across the night sky at a leisurely pace.
These lesser-known spots are not official viewing areas, so please be considerate of nearby residents and follow proper etiquette when using them.
