Early dinner in the station area—fill your stomach before the fireworks
About this spot
The city area centered on Noshiro Station has gathered convenient shops for dinner procurement, including local eateries, prepared-food shops, and supermarkets. On the day of the fireworks festival, vendor stalls around the venue become crowded, making it a wise choice to finish dinner early in the station area. Local Akita specialties such as kiritanpo (cut stamped rice) and dishes featuring Hinai chicken can be found at various dining establishments, allowing you to enjoy Noshiro's cuisine as a fitting finale. In this area where the Sea of Japan spreads toward the sunset, spend a leisurely moment before the fireworks.
