Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving about an hour before the start should get you a spot, though the entrance areas get busy. The free shuttle bus from Mikuri Station's north exit is the easiest way in — check the official site for the exact start time.

With kids

The fishing-port venue has areas close to the water, so keep children within sight. The food-stall zone gets especially crowded — agree on a meeting point in case you get separated.

Photography tips

Photography is fine, but be considerate with tripods in crowded areas. Keeping the harbor's water in the lower frame lets you capture the blooms together with the lights of the port.

Payment

Viewing is free. Food stalls and food trucks generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
