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.

Japanese fireworks festivals are loved as a summer tradition.
Please enjoy the fireworks display in Japan.
