Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 1.5–2 hours before the start. The riverside viewing area fills early. All seating is paid, so have your tickets ready before heading to the venue. The 20-minute walking route from the stations gets busy too.

Best viewing spots

Launches rise from the sandbar in the Ibi River, with the viewing area along the riverside near the Nabuya embankment. Positions facing the sandbar head-on frame the whole display best, and the music fireworks pair with the soundtrack from any seat in the area.

With kids

Along the river, pick a spot away from the water's edge and keep children within sight. With big crowds it is easy to get separated, so agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are fine, but tripods and monopods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff first. From positions facing the river sandbar head-on, the sweep of light across your whole field of view fits in a single frame.

Payment

All seating is paid — buying tickets in advance is required. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins. Temporary parking (2,000 yen) is reservation-based.
