Local Transit
JR Sobu Line Iioka Station, then the Asahi community bus (Higashi-Nishi line, about 10 minutes) to the Hagien stop and about 5 minutes on foot. By car the site is about 30 minutes from the Sosa IC on the Choshi connecting road via National Route 126, or about 50 minutes from the Daiei IC on the Higashi-Kanto Expressway. The organiser runs traffic controls around the venue on the day and closes the beach car park to vehicles.

Lodging Strategy
Stay in Asahi City or along the Boso peninsula - the display is a single evening event on a coastal site reached by a community bus from a local JR station, so a base in central Tokyo is not practical for the same night
English Access
Walk in to the beach area, but the paid seats and the paid car park are advance reservations with Japanese-only instructions, and there is no free parking and no same-day sale. The venue is about a 5 minute walk from the Hagien stop on the Asahi community bus from JR Iioka Station.
Cash Required
Yes for the food stalls on the beach; the paid viewing seats and the paid car park are both sold in advance
Best Arrival
Arrive in the early afternoon - the festival runs 12:00-20:00 and the paid car park and the paid seats are both sold in advance, so the coastal parking bans are in force from the morning
Peak Crowd
