Tips

Always verify the start time from the day-of announcement (exact time not yet determined). For rain-date information, check the official information from Nabari City or the festival organizers. After the event, roads toward Kintetsu Nabari Station will be very crowded, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow in the riverside area and move with a time delay. Some areas along the return route are dark, so use your smartphone's flashlight function.

Best time to visit

Arrive at your viewing location 20 to 30 minutes before the start time. A position where the river is visible allows you to also enjoy the fireworks' reflection on the water.
