Ureshino-cho (嬉野町)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This town serves as the center of the Ureshino area of Matsusaka City. It's home to the city's Ureshino Regional Development Bureau and the Ureshino Lifelong Learning Center, which houses the Ureshino Library, making it a hub that supports daily life in the district. On the day of the Ureshino Ookin Festival, food stalls line the streets in the evening and the area fills with local residents. After enjoying dinner from the stalls, spread out a picnic sheet to secure a spot for watching the fireworks. Unlike a large-scale fireworks display, this area's charm lies in being able to relax and enjoy the warm, community feel of a local summer festival.

Tips

About a 15-minute drive from Matsusaka Agricultural Park Bell Farm. Temporary traffic restrictions may be in place on the day, so follow the signage around the venue. It's a good idea to pick up food and drinks early.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 45 minutes. The festival mood picks up especially around sunset
