Wakura Fireworks
Visible from the coastline in Wakura
Wakura hosts a spectacular fireworks show twice a year. There's a winter show on the second Sunday in January, and a summer show on the first Thursday in August. With an impressive display of over 1,500 fireworks, it's worth checking out. As parking fills up quickly, make sure you either get there early, or don't drive.
Sights in Wakura are distinctly limited. There's a rather contrived Seven Lucky Gods Lucky Lucky Course ä¸ç¦ç¥ç¦ã ããã connecting seven spots around town, each housing a statue of one of the Seven Lucky Gods, that can be covered in two hours even by the most leisurely tourist.

湯å ã®åºå ´. The central point of town, this is the spot where the hot spring bubbles up and is shunted off into all the hotels via a proudly displayed if rather unsexy set of pipes and pumps. It's surrounded by a small park, and there's also a spot to boil your own eggs in spring water 15-20 minutes.
