About this spot

The area around Ushikai Okurajo (牛飼御蔵場), the venue for the 2026 Misato Fireworks (2026みさと花火). It is a quiet area surrounded by rural fields and residential houses, and as the sun starts to set, people begin gathering with leisure sheets to secure a viewing spot. Enjoy a snack you brought or bought earlier while waiting comfortably for the fireworks to begin at night.

Tips

Parking space around the venue is limited, so early arrival is recommended. As there are few shops nearby, stock up on food and drinks in advance, for example at the area in front of Kogota Station (小牛田駅). It gets dark underfoot at night, so bringing a light is a good idea.
