Walk the lakeside promenade and enjoy the scenery of the lake surrounded by mountains

About this spot

An artificial lake created by the construction of Yabakei Dam, surrounded by mountains with a serene landscape. A promenade is maintained along the lakeshore where you can leisurely stroll while feeling the breeze crossing the water. Since this lake becomes the fireworks festival venue at night, walking it during the day helps you get a sense of where to set up for viewing. While not flashy, it's perfect for families to spend a peaceful time together.

Fireworks details

Name: 耶馬溪湖畔祭り

Date & time: 8/11 (Tue) Time TBA

Venue: 耶馬溪ダム湖畔

2026年8月11日(火)開催、耶馬溪ダム湖畔を会場にした第44回耶馬溪湖畔祭りのクライマックスです。周囲を山々に囲まれた湖という地形のため、打ち上げの音が山肌に反響し、都会の花火大会とはひと味違う迫力を感じられます。静かな湖面に映る花火の輝きも、この祭りならではの見どころです。渓谷散策の余韻とともに、山あいの夜を彩る花火を家族でじっくり味わいましょう。

Tips

荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日は中津市の公式発表を確認しましょう。終了後は山道が混み合うため、少し時間を置いてから帰路につくのがおすすめです。夜は足元が暗いので懐中電灯やスマホのライトを準備しておくと安心です。

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Saru Tobi Senbo Gorge. The lakeside parking lot has limited spaces, so arriving early is recommended. During strong sunlight hours, choose shaded areas for rest breaks while walking.
