Leisurely browse station-front shopping street: souvenir hunting and short rest
About this spot
The street stretching in front of Yoriimachi Station is lined with locally-rooted shops. Traditional side-dish shops, Japanese confectioners, and variety stores line the way, and while lacking the glitter of typical tourist destinations, its relaxed atmosphere lets you feel Yoriimachi's daily life. On fireworks festival day, foot traffic increases and the street bustles with pre-festival excitement. Stock up on beverages and snacks before heading to the next spot.
Fireworks details

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 19:00–21:00
Venue: 大里郡寄居町・玉淀河原
Shells: approx. 5,000
2026年8月1日(土)開催、水天宮祭にあわせて行われる寄居町の花火大会です。荒川の渓谷美で知られる玉淀河原を舞台に、約5,000発の花火が夜空に次々と打ち上がります。両岸に迫る岩壁に花火の音が反響し、渓谷ならではの迫力ある響きを生み出します。静かな川面に花火の光が映り込む様子も見どころのひとつで、規模の大きさと渓谷の景観美が一体となった、寄居町を代表する夏の風物詩です。
Tips
荒天時は中止または順延の場合があるため、当日は主催者の発表を確認しましょう。終了後は駅周辺や道路が大変混雑するため、河原で少し余韻を楽しんでからの移動がおすすめです。足元が暗いのでスマホのライトなどを用意しておくと安全です。
