Tips

Check the official Kinokawa City or festival website in advance to confirm whether the event will be held in case of bad weather. Immediately after the conclusion, surrounding roads will be congested with departing traffic and crowds. If you linger at the venue to soak in the atmosphere before leaving with a time delay, you'll have a smoother return trip. The ground will be dark, so a light or flashlight is helpful for safety.

Best time to visit

Timed for the 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM event duration. Secure your viewing spot 20 to 30 minutes before the start.
