Reserve Your Spot on the Riverbed and Enjoy Food Stalls While Waiting for the Show to Begin
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.
