Temporary ticket gates at Juso Station
It looks like temporary ticket gates will be set up at Juso Station.
Apparently, temporary ticket gates will open from 15:30.
There’s Miyakko Ramen
Miyakko Ramen, a ramen shop that our Nishinomiya is proud of, has a location in Juso!
Here it is on the map ↓
The address is 2-9-19 Jusohigashi, Yodogawa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture.
You can find more details about Miyakko Ramen in Juso on a site called Juso Xpress.
Route from the Juso venue to Himejima Station
Hankyu Juso Station and JR Tsukamoto Station get extremely crowded from the fireworks venue.
Hanshin Railway is slightly farther from the site, so it may be a bit better. Here’s the route to Hanshin Himejima Station.
It’s about a 30-minute walk.
Some routes through residential areas may be off-limits.
Please follow the instructions of security staff from the organizing committee.

Finally
If you’re using paid viewing seats, the organized exit on the way home gets incredibly crowded. It may take 20 to 30 minutes just to get out of the riverbed area. You’ll be surrounded by people. It’s hot.You’ll sweat.
For children especially, it could be hot enough to risk heatstroke, so please prepare things like a neck fan, and make sure you get drinks before heading home. Or consider leaving later and taking your time.
