Takasaki Festival 2024
August 24
Hey everyone! Takasaki will be hosting their yearly fireworks again this year. Feel free to join GAJET as we enjoy one of the best fireworks shows in Gunma!
When
The festival will be August 24th from 7:30 to 8:20 PM. An area will be reserved by GAJET starting at 3 PM and will continue until the end of the event. Traffic to the area is expected to be quite intense both coming AND leaving, so we suggest trying to account for that when making arrangements to arrive.
Where
We will meet in the east field of Wadabashi bridge. There will be a large field there where you can view the fireworks for free. We will set up an area there for GAJET members.
How to Get There
Parking may be difficult so we suggest walking. The location is a 20 minute walk from Takasaki Station. A GAJET member with a flag will be waiting at a nearby church (pictured below) to help bring people to the site around 6:45. There will be light sticks around our area to help people find the site.
Important Notes
There is no smoking in the area or the surrounding areas. Please make sure to take any trash with you when you leave the area. Cellphone and wifi reception will be poor in the area, so please make sure to sort out any bookkeeping or setting up of google maps before heading towards the gathering area. If you get lost, please make sure to check the map below and feel free to message a GAJET member to sort how to get to the festival (though availability may be limited)
