Kumagaya Arakawa Green Space (熊谷荒川緑地)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The riverside below the Arakawa Bridge that serves as the venue for the Kumagaya Fireworks Festival is a large-scale viewing area with expansive lawns and sandy areas. From evening onward, food stalls line up and the festive excitement builds. As the sun sets, the riverside becomes filled with spectators, so arriving early is key to securing a good spot. The evening along the river offers a wide sky where you can fully enjoy the color changes from orange to indigo. Spread out food stall meals or dinner you've brought along and leisurely wait for the fireworks to begin with the whole family.

Tips

On the day of the fireworks festival, there are traffic restrictions and parking limitations, so public transportation is recommended. From Kumagaya Station to the venue is about a 20-25 minute walk, or use temporary shuttle buses. Temporary restrooms will be set up, but they become crowded in the evening, so use them early. Please take all trash with you.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes required. The breadth of the Arakawa sky at dusk is exceptional
