About this spot

This complex seaside facility in Oi Town faces Wakasa Bay and also serves as the main viewing area for tonight's fireworks display. A spacious lawn plaza and promenade are maintained here, letting you take a leisurely stroll while feeling the sea breeze. The view overlooking Wakasa Bay's blue waters and the ria coastline of the bay area has the open feel characteristic of the Fukui-Wakasa region. Checking the offshore waters where tonight's fireworks will launch, right in front of you during the day, will make choosing a viewing spot at night go smoothly. The lawn plaza becomes the center of spot-claiming from evening onward, so getting a sense of the layout during the day is reassuring.

Tips

Just a few minutes' drive from central Oi Town. The seaside promenade has times when the sun is strong, so don't forget sunscreen and a hat. Checking the location of restrooms and shops within the facility during the day will also help during the crowds from evening onward.
