Rest in the shade overlooking Hirose River, and recharge for the evening fireworks venue

About this spot

A lush green park spreading across the Aoba-yama area adjacent to Sendai Castle Ruins, overlooking Hirose River. While located in the Sendai cityscape, the tree-lined walking paths remain cool even in the height of summer, where you can rest leisurely in shaded benches. From elevated points in the park, you can look down at the Hirose River floodplain, which helps you grasp the overall picture of tonight's viewing area. Here, conserve your energy as you prepare to secure your viewing spot for the evening. The riverside walking path along Hirose River provides direct access to the floodplain below.

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は仙台市や大会公式の発表で当日確認してください。終了後は仙台駅・地下鉄各駅への帰路に観覧客が集中します。フィナーレ後は河川敷でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから、時間差での帰宅が混雑緩和につながります。足元が暗い場所があるため、小さなライトやスマホの懐中電灯機能を活用して安全に移動してください。

Tips

From Sendai Castle Ruins, you can move through the park on foot while sightseeing. There are vending machines in the park, so replenish your beverages. In the evening, head toward the Hirose River floodplain through the park. While the walking paths are well-maintained, they become dark at night, so choose a well-lit route for your return journey.
