About this spot

Around Fuchu Gakuen (府中学園), the fireworks venue, food stalls line up from the evening of the event, and the festival atmosphere begins to build. Have dinner with classic stall favorites like yakisoba, fried chicken, and shaved ice, then secure your viewing spot early. The area along the river nearby has many spots with a good view, where you can spread out a leisure sheet and wait comfortably. The festival atmosphere and the buzz of the food stalls are just as important a part of the Bingo Kokufu Festival as the fireworks themselves. As the sun goes down, the crowds grow, so it's best to have your spot secured before sunset.

Tips

Some food stalls may not accept cash, so don't forget to have coins ready. Restrooms get crowded, so use them early. Follow the on-site guidance on the day of the event for details on the viewing area. Keeping your belongings to a minimum makes it easier to move around in the crowds.
