Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

With an expected crowd of roughly 7,000–10,000, arriving 30–45 minutes before the start still leaves you a choice of viewing spots. A free temporary lot for 1,000 cars is available.

Best viewing spots

From Shibainai, the main venue area, the launch site sits directly ahead. If facing the display head-on matters to you, viewing from the Shibainai side is the way to go.

With kids

The plaza venue is family-friendly with many stalls and children's events, but keep an eye on separation during the busiest hours — set a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Photography is fine, but be considerate with tripods in crowded areas. With the launch site facing the plaza head-on, simple compositions centered on the fireworks come together easily.

Payment

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