Enjoy a Hearty Dinner of Ureshino's Signature Hot Spring Tofu Before the Fireworks
About this spot
Ureshino Hot Spring's signature specialty is hot spring tofu, made by simmering tofu in alkaline hot spring water until it becomes silky. The minerals in Ureshino's hot spring water break down the tofu's protein, creating a texture so tender it cannot be cut with chopsticks—a unique dish to Ureshino Hot Spring. It's served at restaurants and inn dining areas throughout the hot spring town, where you can savor the warm tofu slowly in set-meal style. On fireworks festival night, restaurants around the venue become crowded, so having an early dinner to fill your stomach thoroughly is the key to comfortably enjoying the fireworks. Many restaurants offer menus featuring local Saga beef and Ureshino tea, allowing you to fully experience Ureshino's food culture.

嬉野温泉夏まつり花火大会は、毎年8月11日に開催される嬉野市の夏の風物詩です。みゆき公園を会場に約1,500発の花火が打ち上げられ、嬉野川沿いの温泉街の夜空を色鮮やかに彩ります。コンパクトな会場ならではの近さで花火を楽しめるのが魅力で、開いた花火が間近に広がる迫力は格別です。川面に揺れる花火の光と、温泉宿の灯りがにじむ夜景が重なる情景は、温泉地ならではの趣があります。家族みんなで過ごした嬉野の1日の締めくくりに、夏の夜空を埋め尽くす光と音をじっくり楽しんでください。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は嬉野市または大会の公式発表で確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路や駐車場が混雑します。花火終了後はすぐに移動せず、公園内で少し余韻を楽しんでから帰路につく時間差帰宅が混雑緩和に有効です。帰りの足(バス・車)の時刻は事前に確認しておきましょう。足元が暗くなるので、スマートフォンのライト機能があると安心です。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
Multiple restaurants are located in the center of the hot spring town, but they become crowded in the evening on fireworks festival day, so entering during the 5 PM hour is recommended. It's reassuring to confirm business hours and crowd conditions beforehand. Since you'll move to Miyuki Park for seating after eating, plan to finish dinner by 6:30 PM.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. Having dinner 1.5 hours before fireworks start allows for a comfortable move to the venue.
