The main venue is Yamaichi Sustena Park Nanokita Park, a spacious area perfect for various exhibitions and events. Related viewing areas may also be located at Yurtech Stadium Sendai. We highly recommend using public transportation, as the area can become quite crowded during the event.
Preparation is key to enjoying the festival to the fullest. Since the fireworks take place at night, please be mindful of temperature changes and the expected crowds around the venue. If you are interested in the paid seating at Yurtech Stadium Sendai, be sure to check for updates as details are announced.
As this is an outdoor event, please wear comfortable clothing. Since you will be watching fireworks at night, bringing a light jacket or shawl is recommended to stay comfortable as the temperature drops. Please check the official website for any updates regarding paid seating or specific venue rules.
