Tips

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.
