Towada City Kancho Street (Koma-kaido)

Flow of the course

About this spot

As evening approaches, food stalls line the Kancho Street pedestrian zone, and the Towada City Summer Festival reaches its peak of excitement. Enjoy classic festival foods like yakisoba, takoyaki, and shaved ice while savoring the moments before the fireworks begin. As dusk falls and lantern lights start to glow beneath the zelkova trees, the festive atmosphere reaches a special high. Having dinner here and finishing your meal before heading to the viewing area on the west side of the athletics track allows you to enjoy the fireworks calmly during the show. The joy of exploring stalls and choosing your favorites is uniquely part of the summer festival experience.

Tips

Starting about an hour before the fireworks begin, the viewing area starts to fill up, so after eating, it's recommended to move early to secure a spot. Prepare small change for stall purchases to speed things up. Use restrooms before joining the crowds.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours required. The twilight hours when the lantern lights reflect off the zelkova trees are the liveliest.
