FAQ

Can I watch for free?

Yes, free viewing is possible — but with around 300,000 attendees, arrive early or book a paid seat (from 4,500 yen) for a good view.

Which side is better, Hirakata or Takatsuki?

The Hirakata side is closer to a station (7 min from Hirakata-koen) and hosts most of the stalls and stages. The Takatsuki side needs a bus ride but is relatively less crowded.

Is it cancelled if it rains?

It runs in rain and cancels only in severe weather — announcements go out on the official site and social media on the day.
