Preparation is key to enjoying this event to the fullest. While Aiba Hama Park offers an open and refreshing space, please prepare for the summer heat. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing to enjoy the lively atmosphere. Please check the latest information regarding specific programs and detailed time schedules as the event approaches.
Cash, credit cards, and various electronic money/mobile payments can be used for food, drinks, and merchandise at the venue. We recommend having your credit card or smartphone payment ready for a smooth experience.
Some English guidance and support will be available to help international visitors. However, as not all staff members are fluent in English, basic communication skills are helpful.
Participation is generally free without prior booking. However, certain specific contents or experience menus may require advanced reservations. It is best to check details in advance to ensure a smooth experience.
As this is an outdoor summer event, please bring heatstroke prevention items such as a hat, parasol, and plenty of beverages for hydration. We also recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes suitable for a riverside environment.
