About this spot

Sayama-shi Station (狭山市駅) on the Seibu Shinjuku Line is one of the major stations closest to tonight's fireworks venue, Iruma Air Base (入間基地). Supermarkets, convenience stores, and restaurants are clustered around the station, where you can make your final purchases of drinks and food for watching the fireworks. Use this time to do a final check of your gear for the evening viewing as well, such as confirming your leisure sheet and preparing insect repellent spray. Checking your route toward Inariyama Park (稲荷山公園) in advance will also make your move in the evening go smoothly.

Tips

About 15 minutes from Tokorozawa Station (所沢駅) on the Seibu Shinjuku Line. Convenience stores and shops around the station get crowded from evening onward on the day of the fireworks, so it is best to finish your shopping during this window. Also use this time to check your route home after watching the fireworks with an app or timetable.
