Explore the park where a large Buddha statue stands, perfect for photos

About this spot

A signature park of Tokai City featuring a large Buddha statue sitting atop a small hill. The Buddha statue, built in the early Showa period, stands approximately 19 meters tall and is impressive when viewed alongside the panoramic scenery from the hilltop. With its pond and grassy lawn well-maintained, it's an ideal size for families to stroll around leisurely. A quiet moment with the Buddha before watching fireworks in the evening serves as a good rest stop during the busy day.

Fireworks details

Name: 東海まつり花火大会

Date & time: 8/8 (Sat) 19:20–

東海市の中心部にある大池を舞台に、毎年夏に開催されてきた東海まつり花火大会の会場です。池を囲むように観覧エリアが広がり、約4,000発の花火が夜空だけでなく池の水面にも映り込むのが最大の見どころです。昼間に散策した公園が、夜には花火を見上げる特等席に姿を変えます。フィナーレの連発が池を照らす瞬間は、東海市の夏を締めくくるにふさわしい迫力です。

Tips

会場周辺は当日大変混雑するため、早めに到着して場所を確保するのがおすすめです。荒天時は中止や順延の可能性があるため、当日は主催者の公式発表を確認しましょう。終了後は駅や駐車場までの道が混み合うため、時間に余裕を持って行動を。
