Tips

In case of bad weather, cancellation or postponement is possible, so check the organizer's official announcement for confirmation on the day. The area around Shirakawa Station becomes very crowded immediately after the show ends, so it's recommended to savor the moment briefly before moving. Some areas have dark footing, so use your smartphone light for safety.

Best time to visit

During the 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM show time. Secure your spot at least 30 minutes before the start.
