Yusui Park (友水公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Yusui Park, the venue for the Honjo River Festival Fireworks Display, starts filling with families securing spots as evening approaches. Once you've picked up dinner, spread out a picnic sheet and wait leisurely for the show to start. This is the time of day when the river breeze feels pleasant and the daytime heat begins to ease. The warm, lively atmosphere unique to a community-rooted summer festival is one of the joys of the experience.

Tips

Traffic restrictions may be in place around the venue from evening onward, so arriving early is recommended. It's reassuring to pick up food and drinks in advance. The riverbed has some uneven footing, so comfortable walking shoes are a good idea.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. Around sunset, you can also enjoy the changing colors of the sky
