Tips
Clothing & Gear
Since you will be watching from the sand, we recommend bringing a leisure sheet (picnic blanket) and wearing shoes that are easy to clean.
Access
The venue is very close to JR Omi Maiko Station (5–8 min walk), making train travel the most convenient option.
Parking
While parking is available, it gets very crowded. We recommend using public transport or booking a space in advance via services like akippa.
