Start Your Hongo Day with Local Cuisine Lunch and Mihara Regional Souvenirs

About this spot

A roadside station (michi no eki) located in Hongo-cho, Mihara City, easily accessible just a short walk from JR Hongo Station. The direct sales section features fresh vegetables and fruits carefully cultivated by local farmers, as well as specialty products from Mihara City, making it popular with local residents. The dining area offers light meals and soft serve ice cream made with local ingredients—an ideal stopping point for lunch on the day of the fireworks display. If you purchase souvenirs during this time before the fireworks and leave them in your car, you'll travel light and move about freely. Since more visitors arrive after early evening on the day of the fireworks, it's recommended to browse leisurely in the daytime.

沼田本郷夏まつり花火大会は、三原市本郷町の本郷大橋下流沼田川右岸を会場に開催される夏の風物詩です。2026年は7月18日(土)20時15分から20時45分の30分間、2,026発の花火が夜空に打ち上がります。沼田川の川面に映る花火の光は、陸上の花火とは違う奥行きと美しさを生み出します。川沿いに広がる観覧エリアからは正面に花火を見上げることができ、川のせせらぎと夏の夜風が心地よいロケーションも魅力です。コンパクトにまとまった30分間に凝縮された光と音のプログラムは、地域の夏まつりならではの温かみと迫力を兼ね備えています。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は三原市または大会主催者の公式発表で当日必ず確認を。終了後は周辺道路と駐車場出口が混雑するため、車の方は花火終了後しばらく会場で余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめ。帰り道の河川敷は照明が少ないため、スマホのライトや小型ライトを使って足元に気をつけて。

Just a short walk from JR Hongo Station. If driving, the parking lot begins to get crowded in the afternoon, so aim for early afternoon. On the day of the fireworks display, popular souvenir items may sell out early, so purchase items you like without hesitation.
