About this spot

A permanent pedestrian mall of renowned length in Japan, extending from Asahikawa Station. Lined with department stores, souvenir shops, and cafes on both sides, the charm lies in leisurely strolling without worrying about vehicles. Perfect for searching for Asahikawa furniture, wood carvings, and local sweets while resting tired legs from the zoo. The park is within walking distance to the Ishikari River, where the fireworks venue is located.

Tips

About 20 minutes by car from Asahiyama Zoo. Benches and rest areas are scattered throughout, making it easy to walk with young children. The venue area becomes crowded on the festival evening, so completing shopping beforehand is reassuring.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Evening provides softer sunlight and easier walking conditions.
