At midday, enjoy a scenic view and lunch at Michi-no-Eki Kushimoto Hashikui-iwa (道の駅くしもと橋杭岩), and in the afternoon, stroll around the mouth of the Koza River and through the old-fashioned streets of Koza. After looking for souvenirs in front of JR Koza Station (古座駅), have dinner in the town of Koza in the evening while enjoying the atmosphere around the festival venue. As night falls, fireworks light up the sky above the clear waters of the Koza River. It is a day where you can enjoy Kushimoto's nature together with a historic naval-forces festival and fireworks, savoring the festive mood along the Koza River in the summer night breeze.
