About this spot

A roadside-style farm stand in Kitsuki City, this direct-sales shop carries Kitsuki specialties such as tea, local sake, well-known confections, processed seafood products, dried shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo products. It is perfect for a break in the afternoon after walking around, and you can also fill up with local snacks. Since the shops around the venue get crowded from evening onward on the day of the fireworks festival, it is reassuring to pick up drinks and light snacks here beforehand. Doing your souvenir shopping and browsing at this time also lets you focus on the fireworks at night.

Tips

A few minutes by car from central Kitsuki City. The parking lot is large and this time of day is relatively uncrowded, so you can shop at your leisure. Buying extra drinks will also help you feel at ease during the evening viewing. Check the facility's operating hours on its official website before visiting.
