About this spot

A beach park facing the Japan Sea that will be the venue for tonight's fireworks festival. As evening approaches, people gradually gather to watch the fireworks. Lay out a leisure sheet, gather around benches brought from home with snacks and light food, and gaze at the sunset over the Japan Sea as you wait for darkness to fall. After spending the day exploring the town's history, this quiet seaside moment is a fitting conclusion to your island journey.

Tips

Spot reservations start in the evening, so arriving early is advisable if you want a good location. Since shops around the venue are limited, arrange drinks and snacks in advance. Bring a cardigan, as the sea breeze may cool you down.
