Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive at the riverbed 30–45 minutes before the start. The free lot holds 1,130 cars, but arrivals cluster around the fireworks, so entering early is the safe play. By public transport it is about 30 minutes by bus bound for Sanuma from JR Semine Station.

With kids

Pick a spot on the riverbed that keeps a safe distance from the water and keep children within sight. The stall-lined streets are crowded, so agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

The open space along the river makes it easy to frame a sky-filling shot with a wide angle. When using a tripod, pick a spot that keeps walkways clear.

Payment

Viewing is free with no paid seating. Food stalls generally take cash, so bring coins. Parking for 1,130 cars is free.
