Spread out dinner in the plaza, reserve your spot, and wait for sunset

About this spot

The open plaza facing the lake is the fireworks venue where you'll spend the evening leisurely reserving your spot. Watching the sunset paint the lake with red hues while having your meal is a wonderful pre-show experience. Northern Hokkaido summers have late sunsets with long daylight hours, so you can reserve your spot without rush. Food stalls often appear on festival day, so enjoy the atmosphere while waiting for the show to start.

Tips

The venue area gets very crowded on festival day. For a good spot, arriving early is recommended. As it gets dark, temperatures drop significantly, so prepare a light jacket. Check toilet locations while it's still light.
