Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
On fireworks day, restaurants around the area begin to get crowded from evening onward. Entering around 4 PM (16:00) is the key to minimizing wait times. The venue has food stalls, but selection is limited and lines form, so it's best to purchase drinks and snacks at this stage. Complete any convenience store shopping early as well.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours required. Time your meal so you can enter the venue 1 hour 30 minutes before fireworks start.
