Finish Dinner at the Venue and Secure a Fireworks Viewing Spot
About this spot
The special venue on the west side of the Iwanai Regional Cultural Center is the stage for tonight's fireworks display. As evening falls, local families begin gathering, and the festival atmosphere rises as you feel the sea breeze from this oceanfront venue. Spread out your take-out dinner and gaze at the sky as daylight fades over the sea, waiting for the show to begin. It's a summer evening moment, reminiscent of the spectacular scenic drive you enjoyed during the day.
