Autumn Fireworks Festival 1-Day Tour: Tsuchiura Fireworks Competition (includes admission ticket) / Kinugawa Fireworks (includes admission ticket) / Oarai Sea Fireworks / Tonegawa Fireworks

This fireworks festival experience exceeded all expectations! The fireworks designs were so unique, it was truly romantic and unforgettable! The fact that the entire trip was so perfect is all thanks to our guide, Ashley! Her professionalism and attention to detail deserve high praise! First, she is fluent in four languages, and on the tour bus, she was able to clearly explain all safety precautions, itinerary details, and methods to prevent us from getting lost in different languages, allowing travelers from different backgrounds to fully grasp the information and feel at ease. Secondly, Guide Ashley clearly did a lot of preparation beforehand, and she was extremely familiar with the local routes and event procedures. Not only was the journey smooth, but the return trip was also perfectly timed, perfectly avoiding crowds and traffic jams, allowing us to end the trip with a relaxed and happy mood. Throughout the entire process, she did not forget to take care of everyone, constantly reminding us to pay attention to road vehicles and which side to stand on for safety. This attentiveness is truly rare. In comparison, another accompanying guide seemed a bit unfamiliar with the terrain and arrangements, which made me appreciate Ashley's seriousness and reliability even more. If I really had to mention a small area for improvement, it would be to hope that the parking location could be closer to the venue in the future, so we could walk less. But overall, this was definitely a perfect experience!

The annual fireworks festival in Oarai is here! With Klook, you can choose a package that includes round-trip transportation from Tokyo Station and reserved seating. The guide will give a brief introduction in Japanese, Mandarin, and English. It's very convenient because you don't have to figure out transportation yourself, but it's a two-hour drive from Tokyo. The trip there took three hours due to traffic. The fireworks display lasts for an hour and a half and is unforgettable. If you've never seen a fireworks festival, you should definitely experience it!

Participated in the Tsuchiura Fireworks tour, C section seats. The tour leader speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, so communication is not a problem. We will stop at the outlet for about an hour, so if you want to shop, you need to aim for your targets quickly and accurately. The large bus will stop 3km away from the fireworks venue, and it takes 30 minutes to walk to the venue, so please wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes. It will be cold by the riverbank and in the evening, so dress warmly. The whole trip went smoothly. We left the fireworks venue at 20:15 and arrived at Tokyo Station at about 22:50, so there is no problem transferring to the JR line.

We were lucky that the rain stopped when we arrived at the venue. The fireworks show was absolutely amazing throughout. However, we had very little time at the Outlet. We only had time to eat before getting back on the bus. I hope next time we can stay longer. Recommended.

It seems that the operator lacks experience and there is room for improvement. On the bus, it would be better to first introduce the attractions and announce the meeting time in advance. The schedule could also be improved; if time is insufficient, it would be preferable to shorten the pear-picking session rather than the outlet visit. Restroom breaks should also be arranged during the bus ride. However, the choice of location for viewing the fireworks was good.

No need to buy tickets on the official website, very convenient for friends who don't speak Japanese. You can easily get to the venue, but the drop-off and pick-up points are a bit far.

The assembly was chaotic, and departure was delayed, which cut into the time for the first attraction. We didn't actually visit the Ushiku Daibutsu; we were expected to go on our own, and no directions were provided (even though buses are available in addition to walking). If guests aren't supposed to visit, it shouldn't be included in the promotion. We chose this day tour out of many specifically for this spot, yet it turned out to be mostly about the shopping mall?! The tour leader got lost multiple times while guiding us from the parking lot to the recommended fireworks viewing spot, wasting time and exhausting our legs. The pre-trip briefing was not thorough; for example, guests should have been reminded to eat or pack meals and told where the restrooms were located. Since it was known that mobile signal at the venue would be poor, the tour leader should have checked the route in advance instead of wandering around blindly and getting lost repeatedly without navigation. We left on the return trip before the fireworks show had even concluded. The grand finale of the fireworks was going off while we were walking away, which was extremely awkward. Moreover, the driver and the tour leader started arguing on the bus about the assembly time, claiming they were worried about missing the last train back to Tokyo, creating a tense atmosphere. All the guests had to listen to them argue on the bus, which was truly awkward and highly unprofessional. As a result, everyone had to leave early before the fireworks were even finished, yet when we arrived back at Tokyo Station for drop-off, it was only 10:00 PM—two hours away from the midnight last train. Why couldn't we stay to watch the fireworks to the end? Since the staff might not be experienced with this event each year, I hope the company can properly adjust the itinerary planning.

The itinerary was clear, and the driver and guide spoke Chinese and English, respectively. Their interactions and conversations were friendly. It felt like a small group tour. They managed the return time well, and the driver was excellent. Although the tour didn't include admission tickets for the Firework Festival, they still took us to areas with good views.

Even though the weather wasn't great today, it was wonderful to feel that the tour guide put their heart and soul into the explanations. We even arrived at the disbanding point earlier than expected! 👍🏻

very convenient to have tickets and round trip transportations arranged
