Ogawa-machi Furusato Festival - After the event, enjoy large blooms of fireworks illuminating the night sky
Seven hundred shells close the Ogawa Town Furusato Festival over the AEON Mall Uki parking lot in Uki, Kumamoto, from 20:30 on August 14 — the mall's rooftop parking deck doubles as the viewing stand, and cannot be parked on. The festival starts at 16:00 with stage shows by local nurseries and groups, a communal dance and a prize raffle. Mall parking is free, and if storms hit, the fireworks move to August 15.
The Ogawa Town Furusato Festival fireworks launch 700 shells from the AEON Mall Uki parking lot on August 14, 20:30–21:00. The festival itself starts at 16:00 with stage events by local nurseries and community groups, a communal dance and a lucky draw. Unusually, the mall's rooftop parking deck serves as the viewing area — cars cannot park on the roof, so use the mall's other free parking floors and head up on foot. Driving access is about 13 minutes from Matsubase IC via Route 3. Arrive about an hour before the start, as rooftop viewing space fills early. Food stalls take mostly cash. If bad weather forces a change, the fireworks move to August 15.
