festival tips

this is outstandingly gorgeous
i have been waiting patiently for the sumida site to display its tips for the big event
i was so excited to see an english information button
THIS IS WHAT I FOUND

Information of the Sumida River fireworks display



1. When should I be there to get a good spot for show?



      The best way to get a good spot is to make good friends with people around
      the place and

      to be invited the family party. :-)

If it is difficult, you should find a place
to sit down yourself. The only way to sit down in a good place is to go there
earlier than anyone and keeping the place being there.

      You must be careful to know where you can stay. You can't stay in any roads
      to walk around.

      (Police will scold you!)



2. What should I bring?



Ground sheet and portable
chair and some beer!

      With ground sheet you may be able to keep a place to sit down. But you
      must be careful

      not to be stolen the place by the other people.



3. Where should I go?

Sumida park (along the sumida
river).

You can get there by subway(Toei asakusa line or Ginza line). Station
to get off is "Asakusa."

      In the day it may be very crowded. If you want a place to sit down, you have to get to

      the park earlier than anybody.



fireworks are shown from

      7/30 SAT 7:10PM to 8:30.



      have
fun!
