Summary

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.

Overview

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.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arrive about an hour before the start — entrances get crowded, and since the rooftop deck is the viewing area, its space fills early. By car, it is about 13 minutes from Matsubase IC via Route 3.

Best viewing spots

The viewing spot is the rooftop parking deck of AEON Mall Uki. Since the roof cannot be parked on, arrive early to allow time to park below and move up on foot.

With kids

Crowds build through the day and it is easy to get separated, so keep children within sight and agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Phone and camera shots are fine, but be considerate with tripods in crowded areas. In a parking-lot venue it helps to fix your composition — with the launch point in frame — before the show.

Payment

AEON Mall Uki's parking is free, but the rooftop deck serves as the viewing area and cannot be parked on. Food stalls generally take cash — bring small bills.
