This shopping street extends from Noshiro Station and features local restaurants and shops, serving as the heart of Noshiro. As evening approaches and the festival begins, it gradually becomes busier with people eating before heading to the venue. Having a meal here before heading to the mouth of the Yoneshiro River will prepare you for the long evening and night of viewing.
Tips
On festival day evenings and nights, the venue area gets crowded, so it's recommended to have dinner early. As it's a walk or car ride to the venue, check the route in advance.
Best time to visit
Approximately 40 minutes. Early 15:00 hours is ideal before dinner rush starts.
