FAQ

Access

🚃 By Train

Approx. 10 min by free temporary bus from Jomo Electric Railway Niikawa Station or Niisato Station to the venue

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving 30–45 minutes before the start still lets you choose a spot. Parking is limited, so the free shuttle buses from Shinkawa and Niisato stations on the Jomo line are the safer choice.

With kids

The festival offers child-friendly activities such as goldfish scooping and mini train rides. The grounds get dark at night, so keep children in sight and set a meeting point.

Photography tips

Photography is free. Please be considerate with tripods when the grounds are crowded.

Payment

Food stalls mainly take cash, so carry extra small bills and coins.
