Stroll through Higotai Park, the highland park from which the festival's name derives
About this spot
A park named after the "Higotai," rare sapphire-blue spherical flowers that grow naturally in the highlands of Aso. The landscape opens up with the expansive highland scenery characteristic of Ubuyama Village, and views of the Aso mountain range can be seen in the distance. Learning the origin of tonight's festival name before enjoying the fireworks will make the Ubuyama Village summer festival feel even closer. The spacious grounds provide a leisurely and comfortable place for the whole family to enjoy.

Tips
荒天時は中止となる場合があるため、当日の実施状況は産山村の公式発表で確認しましょう。高原の夜は夏でも冷え込むことがあるので羽織ものを忘れずに。会場周辺は街灯が少ないため、懐中電灯があると足元が安心です。

About 15 minutes by car from Yamabuki Water Source. The park has little shade, so bring a hat and water. Higotai flowers are mainly in season from late summer into autumn.
