About Sakata Hanabi: Connecting Bonds and Future Echoes
- Spectacular Finale: The grand finale spanning 1,350m and the simultaneous launch of three 2-shaku shells is a breathtaking sight you should see once in a lifetime.
- Seat Selection: For a comfortable experience, we recommend booking reserved seats in advance, such as the A-type chair or the spacious C-type mass seats.
- Advance Booking is Essential: Since parking and reserved seats are extremely popular, be sure to secure them early through the official website or designated ticket sites (such as Lawson Ticket).
