Stroll through expansive natural waterside scenery and savor the crisp autumn air
About this spot
A nature-rich wetland preserve along the Kogai River that spreads across the northern part of Chikusei City. Expansive marshlands and open waterside areas spread out, and depending on the season, you may spot migratory birds. Under the October autumn sky, the refreshing walking course where wind crosses the water's surface is just the right distance for family walks. Open landscape vistas continue, taking advantage of the plains' expansiveness, allowing you to experience the same Chikusei sky as tonight's fireworks venue during daylight hours. In the area where grassland spreads, there are also places where children can run freely, making it perfect for burning off energy in the early afternoon. It's just a short walk from the parking area to the waterside, making it easy to access.

2026年10月17日(土)開催のちくせい花火大会は、約20,000発の打上数を誇る茨城県内でも屈指の規模の花火大会です。会場となる道の駅グランテラス筑西の広大な敷地と、遮るものが少ない関東平野の開けた空を活かした、スケールの大きな花火が楽しめます。障害物なく正面から花火を見上げられるため、一発一発の大きさと光の広がりを全身で感じられるのがこの会場の醍醐味です。秋の夜空は空気が澄んでいて星も見えはじめる中、約20,000発が次々と開くフィナーレは圧巻の一言。都心からのアクセスもよく、関東近郊の秋の花火大会として定評があります。
