Yoshida Shrine
1 Review5 min walk from Shiyakusho-mae Station 2 Sekiya-cho, Toyohashi-shi, Aichi
I should say it's worthy to be the birthplace of cylinder firework on hand, both the number of fireworks and how they show fireworks are on a high level.

I took a boat to see Ukai (cormorant fishing). It was as close as I could feel the heat of the bonfire. There're dynamic motions in the silence, I gazed in wonder at that sight.◎5/11-10/15 in 2018. If you want to take a boat, reservation is better. The fees for the boat: 3100-3400 yen.
Yumori Park
1 ReviewBy car or taxi, 15 min from Sakashita Station, 120 min from Gifu Station. 1057-4 Kawaue, Nakatsugawa-shi, Gifu
Yumori Park holds Momiji Festival. There're many enjoyable stalls. This park is famous for waterfalls and I like Ryujin Falls which is very beautiful. Nakatsugawa is famous for Kuri Kinton (sweet chestnut paste) as a local specialty food, so both of them are in best time now.
