## Tips for Enjoying the Festival
- Prepare to Get Wet: Since massive amounts of water are splashed, wear clothes that can get wet and be ready for the soak.
- Food Stall Timing: Stalls are expected to operate from 18:00 to 21:00. We recommend arriving early around 18:00 to avoid the peak crowds.
- Access: Driving is very difficult. Use public transportation (train/bus) and take a bus from JR Yugawara Station.
- Best Viewing Spot: For the most intense experience, watch from the grand staircase near the Manyo Park entrance.
