What time do the fireworks start?

Check the official website for the fireworks start time. In stormy weather the display is postponed, and the rescheduled launch begins at 8:00 pm.

Can I drive to the venue?

There is no parking near the venue. It sits right by JR Shin-Nanyo Station, so public transport is the assumption.

Yes, but be considerate with tripods in the crowds. Splitting shooting spots by time of day works well for both stage acts and fireworks.

Is it suitable for families with children?

The festival is family-friendly with carnival stalls and stage acts, but in the busiest evening hours set a meeting point so nobody gets lost.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving about an hour before the start should secure a good spot, though the entrance areas and station gates get busy. There is no parking — come by train, and check the official site for the exact start time.

Best viewing spots

Fireworks are launched from Resonac Eigenzan Park near the venue. The station-front area serves as the main viewing zone, so secure a spot with a clear view toward the park early.

With kids

The station-front venue gets packed, and footing is hard to see at night. Keep children within sight and agree on a meeting point — the festival-stall area is especially crowded.

Photography tips

Photography is allowed, but be considerate with tripods in the station-front crowds. If you want to record both the stage acts and the fireworks, it helps to split your shooting spots by time of day.

Payment

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