Parking
There is no car park; traffic controls run on the roads around the venue from 18:00 to 21:30 on the day.
Parking Reservation
No car park is provided, so there is nothing to reserve.
Lodging Strategy
Stay in the Omiya or Owada 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 from the Tobu Urban Park Line - the organiser provides no car park, runs traffic controls on the roads around the venue from 18:00 to 21:30, and announces the go / no-go decision on the city tourism website at 13:00 on the day. The paid seats are sold through the organiser pages in Japanese only.
