JGSDF Zentsuji Camp (陸上自衛隊善通寺駐屯地)

Flow of the course

About this spot

As evening falls, the area around the venue for the JGSDF Zentsuji Camp Fireworks Festival (陸上自衛隊善通寺駐屯地花火大会) comes alive with the glow of food stalls and a festive mood. Once you have picked up a takeout dinner, spread out a leisure sheet to secure a spot and wait for sunset. The homey atmosphere unique to a JGSDF summer festival, along with the view of Mt. Gogaku (五岳山) so characteristic of Zentsuji, are part of the appeal. Enjoy the cool evening air while relaxing through the time before the show begins.

Tips

About a 10-minute walk or drive from the shopping street in front of Zentsuji Station (善通寺駅). The area around the venue gets crowded on the day, so it is recommended to secure a spot from early evening. It is reassuring to pick up food and drinks in advance.

Best time to visit

About 3 hours. The festival grows livelier around sunset.
