Enjoy a panoramic view of the city and surrounding scenery from the hilltop park

About this spot

Ryuozan Mountain (竜王山) is a mountain that rises behind Sanyo-Onoda City, with a park developed from the mid-slopes to the summit. This area allows leisurely walks through lush natural surroundings, and from the observation points you can enjoy panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscape. During the summer daytime, the shaded walking paths remain cool, and children can enjoy physical activity and exploration. This afternoon excursion serves as an excellent pace adjustment, refreshing your body before heading to the venue in the evening. The memory of walking among the green mountain slopes in bright summer light will deepen your appreciation of the nighttime fireworks display.

Fireworks details

Name: 厚狭夏まつり花火大会

Date & time: 7/28 (Tue) 20:00–20:30

Venue: 山陽小野田市・厚狭川河畔

Shells: approx. 1,500

2026年7月28日(火)20時、厚狭夏まつり花火大会が開幕します。山陽小野田市の厚狭川河畔から打ち上がる約1,500発は、川面に光を映しながら夏の夜空を次々と彩ります。水辺ならではの開放感の中で見る花火は、音の響き方も格別で、打ち上げのたびに川面がきらめきます。コンパクトな時間(約30分)の中に見ごたえのある花火が凝縮され、地元の夏まつりの温かなにぎわいとともに楽しめるのがこの大会の魅力です。フィナーレの連発が夜空を明るく照らす瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は山陽小野田市の公式発表を事前に確認しましょう。終了直後はJR厚狭駅へ向かう人が集中するため、フィナーレ後はその場で少し余韻を楽しんでから移動すると混雑を分散できます。帰りの道は暗いため、スマホのライトや小さなライトがあると安心です。

Tips

Accessing from within Sanyo-Onoda City is convenient by car. Some walking paths within the park are unpaved, so wear comfortable shoes. Plan your departure time carefully—it's advisable to start descending the mountain around 4:30 PM to ensure you reach the fireworks venue in time.
