Prefectural Sagami Lake Park (県立相模湖公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A prefectural park spreading along the shores of Sagami Lake and also the main venue for the lakeside festival. From the pier, sightseeing boats, hand-paddled boats, and pleasure boats depart. The unhurried journey on the lake surface reflecting the surrounding mountains is truly special. Along the lakeside are traditional-style cafeterias and shops where you can taste local lake specialties like smelt dishes. Since tonight's fireworks will launch from the lake directly in front of this park, it's good to get a feel for the venue atmosphere during the daytime.

Tips

About 10 minutes on foot from JR Sagami Lake Station. Boat prices vary by type, so confirm at the pier. On fireworks day, spot-reserving begins in the afternoon, so arrive early to secure a good viewing location.

Best time to visit

Allow approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. The lake surface is calmest and most beautiful in midday light.
