Product Info

From summer to autumn each year, fireworks festivals are held across Japan, with Ibaraki Prefecture hosting several highly acclaimed displays with unique styles. However, these venues are often located in suburban areas with limited public transport. After the event, hundreds of thousands of people crowd the stations, often leading to queues exceeding two hours, and taxis are notoriously difficult to secure.

We have designed a small-group carpooling product specifically for international tourists—avoid the crowds and inconvenience of public transport. Led by a Chinese-speaking driver/guide familiar with the local roads, you will travel directly from downtown Tokyo to the venue and be returned together at night. You only need to focus on enjoying the fireworks; leave the rest to us.


【Trip Highlights】

Featuring four representative fireworks festivals in Ibaraki Prefecture; book one or choose from multiple, covering different dates and style preferences.

Fixed-point round-trip service from downtown Tokyo (near Senso-ji Temple), with optional door-to-door pick-up from selected hotels, saving you the trouble of getting to the meeting point yourself.

Strictly limited to no more than 9 passengers per group, using comfortable 10-seater business vehicles to ensure everyone has a comfortable seat with ample space.

Departing from Tokyo around 13:00, allowing plenty of time to arrive, enjoy a meal, purchase local snacks, and find the perfect viewing spot.

Unified departure for the return trip avoids the risks of waiting alone or getting lost at night, making it especially suitable for families, female solo travelers, and elderly visitors.
