How to choose a viewing spot for the fireworks display
In order to enjoy the fireworks display, it is important to choose a viewing spot in advance.
Buying tickets for the official bleachers is one way, but it's also important to get a spot early.
The park and riverbed around the venue are popular spots.
What to bring and wear for the fireworks display
If you prepare the following items for the fireworks festival, you can spend a comfortable time.
Clothes that are easy to move around in and are cool are basic. The temperature may drop at night, so it's safe to bring a light coat.
Be sure to take trash home and follow good manners such as traffic rules.
LEISURE SEAT
It's also convenient for taking up space.
Drinks and Refreshments
There are many food stalls, but most of the time payment is cash only, so it is convenient to have coins ready.
However, food and drink at the venue are often crowded, so it's a good idea to bring your own.
Bug Spray
There are many mosquitoes outdoors in summer, so insect repellent measures are necessary.
Cameras and Smartphones
It is essential for taking pictures of fireworks.
Fireworks Festival Transportation and Congestion Avoidance
On the day of the fireworks festival, many people gather, so transportation and the area around the venue will be extremely crowded.
When using public transportation, it's a good idea to try to move fast.
Also, in order to avoid congestion on the way home, one method is not to move immediately after the fireworks are over, but to wait a little while before moving.
summary
Fireworks festivals in the Chubu and Kinki regions attract many people with their unique appeal and scale.
The highlight is the many fireworks that beautifully color the summer night sky, mainly in Aichi, Shizuoka, Mie, and Hyogo prefectures, and various productions reflecting the characteristics of each region.
The spectacular fireworks at Nagoya Port, spectacular continuous launches at the Abe River in Shizuoka, traditional fireworks at Ise Jingu Shrine, and shows synchronized with Ashiya Summer Carnival music are all events I want to see at least once.
By all means, please visit the fireworks festival in the Chubu and Kinki regions this summer and enjoy the Japanese summer with beautiful night skies.
