Flow of the course

About this spot

The rural fields of Zendoji-cho, Uto City, have typically been the venue for the Uto Jizo Festival's fireworks display. With an open rural landscape offering few obstructions, the Jizo Festival has long been cherished as a signature summer event of Uto City, handed down locally over the years. The 2026 festival was originally scheduled for Sunday, August 23, and Monday, August 24, but has been postponed due to the effects of the Kumamoto earthquake, and the timing, content, and venue after the postponement have not yet been decided (per Uto City's official announcement). When visiting, check the latest information and take your time enjoying the breeze crossing the rice fields and the peaceful scenery.
