🇯🇵How to avoid the crowds and watch a fireworks display

That is to avoid the large-scale fireworks festivals in Tokyo and go to the surrounding areas of Tokyo! The Tokyo Fireworks Festival every summer is always crowded and the experience is not that good. So last year on my birthday I went to the Ashikaga Fireworks Festival in Tochigi Prefecture. 🎆There are 20,000 fireworks in Ashikaga, which is not inferior to large-scale fireworks festivals such as the Sumida River in Tokyo, but compared with large-scale fireworks festivals in Tokyo, there are far fewer people. You can first go to a kimono shop in Asakusa to rent a yukata and take some photos in Asakusa. Since there aren't many stores near Ashikaga Station, I bought drinks, food, and a picnic mat in advance. It takes a little over an hour to get to Ashikaga Station by express from Asakusa. After arriving at the station, walk for a while and you will be at the riverside. Because there weren't so many people, it was still very open on the river, the scenery was beautiful and it wasn't stuffy, so the experience was great. The vast lawns and streams, the breeze on a summer night, and the gorgeous fireworks, it feels like I will remember that day forever. Last year, I booked a hot spring hotel at another station. After the visit, I didn’t go back to Tokyo directly, but went to another station to soak in the hot springs. Because it is a local place, the price is not expensive and the cost performance is very high. I paid a deposit for the yukata, and it was no problem to return it the next day when I returned to Asakusa. ⚠️Note: Because it is a local area, there are not many trains. If you want to return to Tokyo on the same day, you must check the return train schedule and leave in advance, otherwise you may not be able to return to Tokyo. #FireworksConferenceGuide #TokyoLife #WatchFireworksInSummer #SummerEveningBreath #TokyoTravel #Yukata
