Strolling Along the Riverside Greenery: Savoring the Early Summer Breeze of the Ashida River
About this spot
The Ashida River (芦田川) flowing through the heart of Fukuchū City is the stage for tonight's fireworks display. A promenade is maintained along the riverside embankment, where you can take a pleasant walk feeling the river's flow beneath the early summer blue sky. Walking the area that will become the festival venue during daylight helps you locate ideal viewing spots for the evening. The riverside breeze is refreshing, and there are wide open spaces where children can run about—ideal for taking a pause before the fireworks. Spend your time leisurely, perhaps staying until the sunset reflects on the water's surface.
