Sakata City Mogami River Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Mogami River Park is the venue for tonight's fireworks festival itself. Food stalls line the vast riverbed from before the opening, and the crowd builds as the sun sets. Secure a spot early, spread out your leisure sheet, and enjoy food stall fare or meals you've brought while waiting for the opening. The breeze drifting across the Mogami River becomes pleasantly cool as September arrives, and the view of the twilight sky and river creates a special time before the fireworks. Checking the location of restrooms and your route back while it's still light out will make the night feel safer.

Tips

As traffic restrictions may be implemented around the venue from evening onward, early arrival and prior confirmation of parking are necessary. Popular food stalls may sell out, so secure meals early. It's a principle to take trash with you when you leave.

Best time to visit

Duration: approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. Leisurely enjoy the changing character of the river as the sunset transitions to night.
