The annual
The annual fireworks festival in Okinawa is held on July 5 every year. The venue is held at Ocean Expo Park, the times are: 2000 & 2035 two sessions.
Initially, I thought it was far away when I looked at the map. It's more convenient to join a one-day tour, which is good value for money.
Meeting time around 1430, arrival around 1600.
Before arriving, I read the information sent by the tour guide and learned that many pavilions are open for free on the day; the shuttle bus in the park is even free; but the queue starts to grow after 1700.
Often may not be perfect, follow the tour, expect the exhibition hall in the park to see the flowers; in fact, there is also a bus near the "county people's square" (but the return may not have such a late bus), if physical strength, it is recommended to visit this Ocean Expo Park from the morning; It’s also good to stay in a nearby hotel for a night, and of course the hotel price won’t be cheap that night.
Many tourists, even locals, if only by bus, many also participate in these one-day tours! In fact, these tours have several types of tours: some include round-trip transportation, some transportation + food; !
I believe that it is just as beautiful to see near the beach; Previously at the International Fireworks Competition in Macau, the Victoria Harbor fireworks show did not have to be waited for a seat in the morning. But this time, I saw for myself, Japanese fireworks are really too beautiful! ! No comparison, no harm! The "reservation fee" of around HK$270 is worth it! !
In fact, we do not have to include food when following the tour, I observed only the packaged sushi that the tour guide distributed before getting off the bus. First, so late collection, yourself can also buy. In addition, the weather is hot in July, so it is best not to bring easily spoiled foods such as sushi. At that time, before heading over to the pay area, in fact, many fast food trucks near the beach, the price is certainly difficult to cheap, but I spent ¥700 to buy a delicious chicken burger (generally large);
It rained all day before arriving, and I knew in my heart that there was a chance of cancellation due to bad weather. Very lucky, after 6 o'clock, it really stopped raining, successfully set off the 2 fireworks, I was very satisfied, I will definitely come to Okinawa's fireworks conference again if I have the opportunity.
