How to choose a viewing spot for the fireworks display

In order to fully enjoy the fireworks display, it is important to decide on a viewing location in advance.

There is also a way to buy official bleachers tickets, but if you want to watch in a free area, you'll need to reserve your spot early.

In particular, open places near the venue, such as parks and riverbeds, are crowded with many people.

What to bring and wear for the fireworks display

In order to enjoy the fireworks festival comfortably, it is convenient to prepare the following items.

Clothes are generally cool and easy to move around in, but it can get cold at night, so it's safe to bring a light jacket.

Also, be sure to take your trash home with you and be sure to follow traffic rules and surrounding manners.

LEISURE SEAT

It helps secure a place to sit and watch. It is essential for getting a place early.

Drinks and snacks

There are also food stalls, but there are many cases where only cash can be used, so it's easier to prepare coins.

Shopping can be difficult during busy times, so it's a good idea to bring food and drink beforehand.

Bug Remedies

Mosquitoes often occur outdoors in the summer, so be sure to take measures with insect repellent sprays, etc.

Camera/Smartphone

It's a must-have item for those who want to capture inspiring moments in photos and videos.

It is safe to have a mobile battery to prevent running out of charge.

Fireworks Festival Transportation and Congestion Avoidance

On the day of the fireworks festival, transportation and the area around the venue will be very crowded due to large crowds.

If you use public transportation, we recommend that you visit the site early.

Also, in order to avoid congestion when returning home, it is effective to wait a little while before moving, not right after the fireworks end.

summary

Fireworks festivals in Japan are loved by many people as traditional events that symbolize the atmosphere of summer. Each tournament has its own unique appeal and is worth visiting at least once. Please enjoy Japan's beautiful fireworks this summer.

A beauty experience is also recommended when visiting Osaka and Kyoto!

Relax at one of Osaka's popular salons and spend a special time to heal your daily fatigue.
