Leisurely stroll along Tokiwa Lake promenade and Sculpture Hill
About this spot
A comprehensive municipal park sprawling across central Ube City, centered on Tokiwa Lake with expansive grassy plazas and walking paths. The park contains an outdoor sculpture space featuring permanent installations by sculptors from Japan and abroad—a distinctly Ube space where you can encounter art while strolling. The lakeside promenade offers plenty of shade and is relatively comfortable even in the heat of summer. It is cherished by families who enjoy leisurely picnics and offers a pleasant starting point for the day. There is ample space in the grassy plaza for children to run about.

宇部市花火大会は毎年夏に宇部港内を会場として開催される、宇部市の夏を代表するイベントです。港の水面に映る花火の光は、陸上での花火大会とはひと味違う奥行きを感じさせます。2026年は7月25日(土)の20時から20時30分までの30分間、夜空に花火が打ち上がります。潮の香りと波音が響く宇部港で、色とりどりの光が夜空を染める瞬間は、宇部の夏ならではの特別な光景です。フィナーレに向けて加速する連発が港全体を照らすとき、この1日のクライマックスを家族全員で感じることができます。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は宇部市の公式発表で確認してください。終了後は会場周辺道路と駐車場出口が大変混み合います。花火終了後はすぐに移動しようとせず、少し時間をおいてから帰路につくと混雑を緩和できます。帰りの足元が暗い場所もあるため、スマートフォンのライトで安全に行動しましょう。
