Fudeyama Park (筆山公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Situated on a hilltop approximately 137 meters high on the south bank of the Kagami River, this park is one of Kochi's finest viewing spots. From the observation platform, you can take in the flow of the Kagami River and the Kochi cityscape, overlooking Midori no Hiroba (みどりの広場), which is tonight's fireworks venue. The water surface of the Kagami River bathed in golden hour light is beautiful, and this spot is perfect for a quiet moment before the fireworks festival. The area around the summit has tree shade, offering some relief from Kochi's summer heat.

Tips

You can walk up from the riverside promenade along the Kagami River, but in summer, allow plenty of time to arrive before sunset. Parking available. The area around the observation platform has stone steps underfoot, so wear comfortable shoes. From here to the fireworks venue at Midori no Hiroba takes about 5 minutes by car or about 20 minutes on foot along the riverside path.

Best time to visit

Plan for approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The evening light beautifully illuminates the Kagami River view in soft, gentle tones.
