Secure a spot on the floodplain and enjoy food stall cuisine before the fireworks
About this spot
The main venue area of tonight's fireworks festival set on the vast Arakawa River floodplain. The open location with no obstructions surrounding it allows the fireworks to be clearly visible and impressively large from any vantage point on the floodplain. As evening falls, food stalls and vendor booths become fully vibrant, with classic festival fare like okonomiyaki, fried chicken, and takoyaki (octopus balls) lining up. After spreading out your leisure sheet to secure a spot, grab dinner from the stalls and wait for the show to begin in a lively family atmosphere. The gradual darkening of the sky as dusk approaches is a special atmosphere unique to fireworks festivals.

Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表を必ず確認してください。終了後は会場周辺と最寄り駅が大変混雑します。混雑を避けるためにフィナーレ後は少し時間をおいてから移動するか、大会公式の交通・帰宅案内に従って分散帰宅を心がけましょう。10月の河川敷は夜間の気温が大幅に下がるため、防寒着の準備を忘れずに。足元は暗くなるため小型ライトがあると安心です。
