What do I need to prepare for the Japan Fireworks Festival? We should check the weather forecast in advance.
In case of rainstorm, some fireworks shows will be cancelled or postponed, which directly determines whether the fireworks show can be held as scheduled. If the weather is bad, information about the fireworks display will also be explained on https://sp.jorudan.co.jp/hanabi/,, which can be collected on this website.
Determine the location of the bathroom
During fireworks display, temporary toilets are usually added near the venue, but some toilets are not available. The situation of the restrooms of various fireworks conferences is also explained on the information website. When you arrive at the meeting, remember to confirm the location of the bathroom immediately, and if possible, don't leave too far. But in any case, the huge fireworks crowd is inevitable, so it is better to solve it in advance.
Planning route
The venue is crowded and the route should be planned. If it is convenient, you can also step on it in advance to avoid confusion. When you don't know how to get there, just follow the crowd. Be careful not to get separated from your companions.
Occupy a position
The more convenient the general traffic is, the closer it is to the city center, the more fireworks will be set off, and the more people will visit. According to the scale of the fireworks show you want to see, it is suggested that you go to the venue as soon as possible to occupy a seat, at least two hours in advance. If you arrive just before departure, don't say that all the good places are gone and the crowds on the road are annoying.
Buy a ticket
The same is true for the return trip. It's best to relax the departure time, such as starting earlier. Most fireworks displays start at around 7: 00 ~ 8: 00 (some fireworks displays will be delayed due to rainy weather), and the whole time is about 1.5 ~ 2 hours. Be sure to check the last bus time, buy a return ticket in advance, and go home early after watching the fireworks!
other
It is best to carry simple and light luggage, pay attention to some etiquette when watching, and try not to affect others. At the same time, pay attention to your own safety, take good care of your belongings and choose a safe place to watch. It is best to travel together.
Fireworks must be set off with something to occupy a seat.
Picnic cloth or mats are used to occupy seats.
A small towel/wet tissue/fan, etc.
In midsummer, it is hot and crowded. You often have to wait until the afternoon before the fireworks show starts, which can let you cool down properly. Wet paper towels can also be used to wipe hands, and if it is a small round fan, it can also be recessed.
Similarly, sunscreen products are also very important, such as sunscreen, cool spray and so on. A parasol is necessary, on the one hand, it can be used to shade the sun during the day; Secondly, it is rainy in summer. Even if the light rain doesn't affect the fireworks, you should protect your beautiful clothes from getting dirty.
There are many mosquitoes outdoors in summer, so bring a bottle of anti-mosquito spray to do anti-mosquito work well.
Small flashlight
It's convenient to find things around you at night. If you don't have it temporarily, you can actually use a mobile phone instead.
Bring your own lunch or dry food.
You can relieve hunger while waiting or watching fireworks. Of course, there will be all kinds of food stalls near the fireworks show. When you arrive at the venue, you can go to the stall and buy some Japanese food to pad your stomach. After eating and drinking enough, you can also buy some snacks to take with you to see the fireworks.
Bring your own garbage bag.
There is a designated littering area in the venue, so it will be more convenient to take a garbage bag with you, and take the garbage with you when you leave.
Sandals and Band-Aids
If you are a girl in a bathrobe, you can also prepare a pair of sandals and a band-aid After all, bathrobes and clogs are inconvenient and tired after wearing them for a long time. You can change when you're not taking pictures.
swimsuit
The most beautiful picture of the Fireworks Festival is not only the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky, but also the sister papers walking lightly in bathrobes. At the fireworks show, bathrobes are more suitable for fireworks.
If you want to attend a fireworks display, a cool bathrobe can definitely add to the atmosphere. Japanese bathrobe is light, breathable and comfortable to wear. With a full set of clogs and fans, it blends into the crowd, and the Japanese summer style is coming.
If there are men and children, there will be bathrobes and equipment of corresponding styles. Everyone wears bathrobes to attend the most splendid fireworks show in summer, and enters the most youthful scene of Japanese drama in one second.
Precautions take up space
Like the cherry blossom season, if you want to occupy a good site without spending money, you naturally have to sacrifice some sleep time to get up early. When setting off fireworks, it is generally divided into free viewing area and reserved seat area.
The reserved seating area usually belongs to the designated area for purchasing advance tickets and related sponsors, and needs to be purchased in advance. Usually, after the schedule of the fireworks show is determined, the purchase method and related information of advance tickets will be announced on the exclusive website of each performance.
Due to the limited seats and dates in the reserved seating area, the free viewing area is the choice of most tourists and Japanese people.
Seats in the free viewing area are generally divided the day before the fireworks show, and seats can be taken from 0: 00 am that day. Seats are usually laid in selected areas with picnic cloth or ordinary plastic cloth and fixed with adhesive tape. Because most plastic sheets used for seats are similar in color and material, it is usually possible to draw the names of occupants or organizations on the plastic sheets with tape or marker.
In order to let more people watch the fireworks show together, although seats are first come first served, regardless of size and shape restrictions, they are generally based on the principle of sufficiency, and it is not recommended to occupy an area that exceeds the number of users.
Because the viewing places of fireworks display are usually roads, temporarily blocked streets, parks and other public places, it is forbidden to use any tools that will leave traces or cause trouble to others, including but not limited to paintings, stickers, tents, cars, bicycles, small tables, benches and so on.
Temporary restroom
During the fireworks display, mobile toilets are usually temporarily added near the venue. However, due to the large audience, long queues are still inevitable. If necessary, it is the best way to enjoy the fireworks display as soon as possible. Although it is a temporary toilet, it is equipped with necessary toilet paper like all other toilets in Japan. However, due to the large number of users, paper breakage may occur in the later stage. Please use the temporary toilet in a civilized way.
It is forbidden for anyone to excrete in the grass, roadside and other places. In any case.
Please take care of your belongings. There are many people who use temporary toilets, such as forgetting to bring their cameras, mobile phones or wallets, which are difficult to find.
Throw rubbish
There is usually a designated garbage disposal area in the venue. Please confirm with the venue staff before the opening ceremony.
All garbage generated in the process of viewing shall not be left at the scene. Please clean it up and take it away after the performance.
fire prevention

Drinking and smoking
There are generally designated smoking areas in reserved seating areas, and smoking is completely banned in free viewing areas. If necessary, please be sure to ask the venue staff to go to the designated permitted place.
Watching fireworks while drinking with friends is of course a pleasure, but please be careful not to bring unnecessary trouble to other people watching because of excessive drinking.
Use drones
It is strictly forbidden to carry and use small drones in venues and areas near venues. If discovered, the fireworks meeting may be terminated for security reasons.

During the fireworks display, the loud noise of fireworks may cause some pets to bark or be anxious because of fright, so it is forbidden to bring pets into the venue. But guide dogs or other auxiliary working dogs are not allowed to enter.
means of transportation
During the fireworks display, it can be expected that there will be traffic jams around the venues, and some entrances and exits of subway stations around some venues will be blocked for quite some time. Please go as soon as possible to avoid driving.
