Tips

Check the official Mito city announcement for confirmation of holding in case of severe weather. After the show, roads around the lakeshore and buses toward Mito Station will be very congested. After the finale, it's recommended to savor the lingering atmosphere at the lakeshore for a while before heading home at a staggered time. Ground visibility will be poor, so bring a light, and if with children, hold hands while moving about.
