About this spot

Aibahama Park, tonight's venue for the Retra! Suito Festival, is a lush green park spreading along the river. From anywhere along the riverside promenade you can see the water's surface, letting you choose a viewing spot while checking the direction the fireworks will launch. Many viewers spread out sheets 30 minutes before the show begins, so it's reassuring to secure a spot by then. The breeze off the water grows cooler as night falls, creating a comfortable setting for outdoor viewing on a summer night. Spread out the snacks and drinks you brought and enjoy the countdown to showtime leisurely as a family.

Tips

About a 15-20 minute walk from the promenade along the Shinmachi River. Roads around the park get congested on the day of the fireworks display, so moving on foot is more comfortable. Watch your step, as some areas along the riverbank have little lighting. After securing your spot, check the restroom locations in advance.
