Asuwa River Cherry Tree Grove (足羽川 桜並木)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The area along the Asuwa River from Kida Bridge (木田橋) to Itagai Bridge (板垣橋) is known as a cherry blossom viewing spot in spring, but in summer it becomes a pleasant walking path with vibrant green trees. On the fireworks festival day, food stalls line the riverside, and the festive atmosphere builds from evening onward. The key to this course is to leisurely walk along the embankment while enjoying food stall cuisine for dinner, and to complete your viewing spot reservation before dusk. The changing colors of the river surface with the approaching sunset serve as an excellent prelude to the main fireworks. On the evening of the fireworks, viewers begin to gather, so arriving at the venue a bit early and spending time at a relaxed pace is recommended.

Tips

Approximately 15 minutes on foot or by car from Asuwayama Park. On the fireworks festival day, surrounding roads become congested, so public transportation is convenient. Most food stalls accept cash only, so prepare small change. Restrooms around the venue get crowded, so use them early.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours required. The riverside at sunset is the quietest and most beautiful time of this day.
