About this spot

This town product center and tourist information hub sits in the heart of Omachi Town (大町町), with a well-stocked farmers' market corner offering fresh vegetables and fruit from local farms alongside Saga specialty goods. Once you're back in Omachi from Mifuneyama Rakuen (御船山楽園), it's worth stopping here first to pick up local flavors as souvenirs. On the day of the fireworks festival, the whole town of Omachi takes on a festival mood, and the area around Furusato-kan livens up early too. It's also a handy staging point to prepare for the evening's fireworks, whether checking restrooms and parking or stocking up on drinks.

Tips

Located within Omachi Town, about 5 minutes by car from the fireworks venue, the Omachi Town Athletic Field (大町町民グラウンド). Nearby parking gets crowded on the day of the fireworks festival, so checking on a parking spot at this point in the day helps things go smoothly from the evening onward. Picking up drinks and snacks here lets you skip the lines closer to the venue.
