The shimmering reflection of light on the river's surface is a special highlight unique to this riverside viewing location.

Check the official competition website or Fukuroi City announcements for weather-related cancellations. After the finale, surrounding roads and parking exits become extremely congested, so waiting a while before departing will ensure smoother traffic flow. The riverbed has minimal lighting on the way back, so having a smartphone light or small flashlight is reassuring.
