Hidden Viewing Spots
For those who want to enjoy the fireworks while avoiding the crowds, here are several lesser-known viewing spots.
- “Relaxed Area” in front of Hotel Uminpia Although located near the main venue, this area is said to offer a relatively relaxed fireworks-viewing experience. Hotel Uminpia serves as a landmark, allowing you to enjoy the fireworks while still soaking up the atmosphere of the festival.
- Around Aoto Ohashi Bridge From Aoto Ohashi Bridge, located a short distance from the Oi Fishing Port area, you can enjoy a beautiful distant view of the fireworks over the water. The view from the bridge feels open and spacious, making it a recommended spot for those seeking a romantic atmosphere. However, confirm in advance that the area is outside the traffic restrictions and watch from a safe location.
- Nagaihama Beach Nagaihama Beach, where paid parking is available, is approximately a 10-minute walk from the venue and offers a relatively close view of the fireworks. As the beach is equipped for visitors, there may be ample space to spread out a ground sheet and watch the show.
These lesser-known spots are also expected to attract many people on the day of the event. Arrive early to secure a place, and be considerate of others while watching.
