Next stop: Watch fireworks and their reflections rise over the quiet lakeAbout this spot
The shore of Lake Jinzai, the venue for the fireworks festival. As evening approaches, food stalls line up and the area begins to bustle with locals. Settle in at the lakeshore and finish your pre-fireworks meal with stall food or takeout dinner. As the sun sets, the way the lake's color changes moment by moment is one of the highlights unique to a fireworks festival over a lake.
Tips
About 20 minutes by car from Yunokawa Onsen. Roads in the area get congested from evening onward on the day of the fireworks festival, so allow extra time to travel. It can feel a little chilly in the lakeside breeze at night, so it's reassuring to bring something to layer on.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 45 minutes. The time when sunset shifts into night is a highlight
