About this spot

Sakai Riverside Park, stretching along the Tone River, is the main venue for the Tone River Great Fireworks Festival. The riverbank has excellent views and offers a vast, unobstructed sky that you can have all to yourself—an ideal viewing area. On the day of the fireworks festival, food stalls line the riverbank, building festive atmosphere. Arrange your dinner by shopping at the food stalls and enjoy it leisurely on a leisure sheet. The evening breeze crossing the Tone River is pleasant, and the changing colors of the sky as the sun sets is another delight unique to this location. Spend your time slowly before the fireworks begin, taking in the river's flow.

Tips

On the day of the fireworks festival, spectators gather early. To secure a good spot, aim to arrive by around 4 PM. Food stalls will be crowded, so it's wise to purchase drinks early. Confirm the location of public restrooms and use them before the fireworks begin. Temperature can drop suddenly from evening onward, so have a light jacket nearby.
