Pick up dinner at the station area and secure a viewing spot while waiting for the show to start
About this spot
Near JR Hisatsu Orangerail's Akune Station, there are local shops and restaurants scattered about. On the evening of the fireworks festival, it's the perfect time to pick up takeout food. Once shopping is done, move toward the venue, spread out a picnic sheet, and spend time leisurely until the show begins. In October when days grow shorter, dusk arrives earlier.
