Enjoy the forest attractions and the dynamism of the racing course at Motegi Mobility Resort at noon, and in the afternoon visit Shiroyama Park, the festival venue, to touch upon the history of Motegi Castle. Along the Naka River, savor sweetfish dishes raised in the clear stream. In the evening, secure viewing spots around Shiroyama Park again while enjoying early dinner and wait for dusk. As night falls, approximately 5,000 fireworks light up the night sky, and the Motegi summer festival, characteristic of a castle town, reaches its climax. A family-friendly one-day plan where you can fully enjoy the clear Naka River and the historic castle town.
