July 20 - Adachi Fireworks Festival

[west ledge]

Hello, I'm looking for people to join me for the fireworks

[mild girder]

[west ledge]

Hellooo

[scenic anchor]

Hell yeah

[dire iron]

Hello

[limber birch]

👋

What time should we aim to get there then? Seems like we need to go pretty early

[west ledge]

I would like to arrive at where I plan to get a spot by 4 PM at the latest. Would you guys be down to meet near the station or something at 3 PM. We just need a few people to come early and camp a spot.

We should probably grab snacks and drinks before heading there too

[scenic anchor]

Will try to get there by 3PM or 4PM

Will let you guys know more when I get closer

[dire iron]

I gotta check into the hotel and food first but should be able to get there by 4ish

[west ledge]

• I'm trying to get a spot somewhere here. It's behind the paid seats so viewing angle should be pretty good but I bet lots of people will try to get here too. https://maps.app.goo.gl/kFscESnNJT4hboeQ8
• Here the link to the festival site. You can use Google Lens to translate the maps and stuff. https://www.adachikanko.net/en/adachi_no_hanabi46

[limber birch]

I could bring a couple of drinks with me

[west ledge]

fyi it's also a 30 min walk from Kita-Senju St

[onyx bluff]

I’ll try be there at 4 🤞

[west ledge]

I'll prob head there first to scout cuz I'm not too sure if the spot I picked will be restricted. If it is, I'll try to find another spot and send the location here.

we might be too late already

[dire iron]

Damn they really got up early for this

[west ledge]

should've prepared this but if anyone manage to bring a blanket or sth, that wud be much appreciated

[dire iron]

Does 7-11 sell tarps?

[west ledge]

i have no idea tbh, i see a few good spots left near the original location i sent

[scenic anchor]

Holy shit. As long as we get front or back that will be great. Side seats are not that great I have heard

[west ledge]

the battlefield...

[west ledge]

yea cuz the fireworks spread along the river, they will overlap if we watch from side seats

fck im dyibg to the heat

[onyx bluff]

It’s so bloody hot

[scenic anchor]

I’ll be there in around 50 minutes

[dire iron]

I’m gonna head that way so about same, but I’m gonna try to find a tarp or something

[west ledge]

what do guys think abt this spot, its behind the paid seats

the tents blocked a bit but rhe fireworks shud be high enough that we dont really have to worry abt it

[dire iron]

Looks good

[west ledge]

no blanket might be a bit rough to sit here

[scenic anchor]

True. Reminds me. How do they fire off the fireworks? Is it on a surface above the water or just by the riverside?

[west ledge]

or i dont know if we can just sit along this railing here

i assume its from those platforms on the river

there r 3 of those floating on the river

[scenic anchor]

Oh

[west ledge]

this spot might be good, its still behind the tents, but it aligns with the center platform they gonna shoot rhe fireworks from

[scenic anchor]

I think there’s something about seeing the fireworks reflect on the water

But I don’t mind if it’s too crowded already

[onyx bluff]

I’ve got a bag so can just sit on that

[west ledge]

yea it will be hard to see without paying for the paid seats I think

there r some forward spots without the tents blocking but they r kinda side view seats so we have to compromise either way

all the higher seats than r able to look over the tents r all taken

my location rn
https://maps.app.goo.gl/2Ah3kTCVvD56kNvn8

[limber birch]

I'm headed to the station now haven't found a blanket though

[west ledge]

if u cant find dont worry too much abt it, i dont mind touching grass lol

[scenic anchor]

Me too

[west ledge]

they r like older, longer grasses so they r not that itchy

shiet this van just came and set up some kind of antenna right in front of this spot

[honest elm]

yo'

[west ledge]

i dont know if we can lurk around this railing here, the height is quite nice u can see the reflection

[honest elm]

im heading there in an hour or so walking from ohanajaya

[onyx bluff]

Just double checking you’re near hosuiro dote shita station?

[honest elm]

hmm, I better start going now i got a kinda a blanket not too big but its something

[west ledge]

not sure abt ur station but kita senju might be the easy one to access with lots of train lines

[scenic anchor]

Anyone brought sunscreen? 😂

[onyx bluff]

Thanks! On my way!

[west ledge]
