Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 30–45 minutes before the 20:00 start. It is a 10-minute walk from JR Kurino Station or about 2 minutes by car from the Kurino IC. Around 300 free parking spaces are available, but they fill up during the fireworks — come earlier still if you want time at the food stalls.

With kids

Along the river, keep children away from the water's edge under adult supervision, and agree on a meeting point for the crowds. With the show ending around 21:00, the timing is manageable even for young children.

Photography tips

Photography is free. Bursts reflected on the river surface make attractive foregrounds, and with about 5,000 shells over a full hour, a spare battery helps if you switch between stills and video. Keep tripods clear of foot traffic.

Payment

Viewing is free. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins. Parking (about 300 spaces) is free.
