About this spot

A roadside station located along the shores of Lake Biwa, offering a stop where you can find local ingredients and specialty products from the Kohoku and Nagahama areas. You can enjoy processed goods made with Ōmi beef (近江牛), preserved small fish such as sweetfish and lake fish, vegetables from the Kohoku region, and other locally distinctive items. From late afternoon onward on the day of the fireworks festival, convenience stores and shops near the venue become crowded, so stocking up on dinner bentos, drinks, and snacks here provides peace of mind. The facility also has an eating corner where you can grab a quick bite and rest.

Venue: 長浜市・豊公園自由広場（びわ湖沖合）

長浜・北びわ湖大花火大会「長浜の陣」は、琵琶湖の沖合から打ち上げられる花火を豊公園自由広場から楽しむ、秋の長浜の一大イベントです。2026年は9月16日(水)から18日(金)の3日間、毎夜20:00〜20:20に開催されます。広大な琵琶湖の水面の上で開く大輪の花火は遮るものがなく、湖面に映る光の帯とともに迫力ある眺めを楽しめます。9月中旬の涼やかな夜気の中、静かな湖上に響く打ち上げ音は格別で、夏の喧騒とは趣の異なる秋の花火ならではの情緒があります。20分間のダイナミックな演出が、この1日のクライマックスを飾ります。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表で必ず確認してください。終了後は豊公園周辺と長浜駅へ向かう道が混雑するため、フィナーレの余韻を楽しみながら少し時間をおいてから移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗くなるので、ライトを用意して安全に帰路につきましょう。
