Local Transit

Parking
There is no car park; traffic controls are applied on the roads around the venue on the day.
Parking Reservation
No car park is provided, so there is nothing to reserve.
Lodging Strategy
Stay in the Urawa or Higashi-Urawa area of Saitama City - the display is a single evening event on a railway line, and the organiser provides no car park at all, so a base in central Tokyo is not practical for the same night
English Access
Walk in to the free viewing areas; the park itself is open to paid seat holders and invited guests only. The paid seats were sold out in advance and no same-day sale is offered. Paid seat holders must collect a wristband and a leisure sheet at the reception tent in front of the park gate from 16:30, and the wristband must be worn to enter the paid area.
