About this spot

This is a street with a calm, castle-town atmosphere spreading out in front of JR Shirakawa Station. Lined with restaurants and shops, it's just the right place to catch your breath while filling up with local food. Ease the fatigue from a day of historical sightseeing while preparing for claiming a spot at the fireworks venue from the evening. On the day of the festival, it gets even more crowded from evening onward, so it's recommended to spend a relaxed time here now.

Tips

You can travel here from Shirakawa Shukoen by car or bus. On the day of the festival, parking around the station gets crowded, so allow plenty of time when moving. The next stop, Shiroyama Park, is within walking distance.
