Check with Ozu City or the organizers' official announcements regarding whether the event will be held in case of bad weather. After the display ends, surrounding roads become congested, so it is recommended to linger and enjoy the atmosphere before leaving. The river bank becomes dark, so it's helpful to prepare a smartphone light or similar lighting.
Best time to visit
Coordinated with the display time of 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Secure your viewing spot at least 30 minutes before the start.
