Please be sure to use the designated parking area (approximately 1,600 spaces available).

◎Dangerous Zone: The fireworks launch site is extremely dangerous. If anyone enters the danger zone, the fireworks display will be canceled, so please do not enter the danger zone under any circumstances.

A map of the fireworks display venue can be found here (details will be added once they are finalized).

◎We are running a zero-waste campaign. The day after the tournament, there is a lot of trash, such as empty cans, scattered around the venue. As this is a matter of social education for children and a matter of hygiene, we ask that you dispose of your trash in the trash cans that are set up in various locations or take it home with you. Trash bags will be distributed at the main office on the day of the event, so please feel free to ask a staff member.

◎Other Information○On the day of the fireworks display, please note that vehicle access will be prohibited in the area between Hiragata Bridge and Shikishima Bridge on the west side of the Kokuryo River embankment due to the accumulation of gunpowder and the resulting danger.
○Please do not use stones from the Kokuryo River to weigh down your sheets while sightseeing.
○To ensure the safety of spectators and the smooth running of the fireworks display, please refrain from using drones or other wirelessly controlled flying objects at the venue during the fireworks display.
○ Starting at 6:30 the morning after the fireworks display, numerous volunteers will be helping to clean up the area around the venue. We would greatly appreciate your cooperation.
Please do not park illegally on the streets or in the vicinity of the venue, as this will cause a great deal of inconvenience to local residents.

We would appreciate your cooperation in making this a fun fireworks display.
