Kagoshima’s representative summer event “Kagoshima Kinkowan Summer Night Fireworks Festival” will be held tomorrow, the 20th. Preparations are steadily underway for the tournament, which will be held for the first time in three years in Honminato Ward, Kagoshima Port.
(Mr. Ryosuke Miya, Kagoshima City Tourism Promotion Division) “At present, we are planning to hold the event.
Last year, due to the influence of the new corona, the “Kagoshima Kinkowan Summer Night Fireworks Festival” was held for the first time in three years. 15,000 fireworks are scheduled to be launched from 7:30 pm for more than an hour, including the customary simultaneous launch of two 2-shaku balls and a continuous launch of 5,670 fireworks, including 200 large balls that wish for corona zero.
In the prefecture, the number of people infected with the new coronavirus has continued to exceed 4,000 since the end of the Bon Festival, but Kagoshima City has a policy not to cancel the event due to the corona, and temperature measurement and disinfection points will be set up around the venue as a countermeasure.
Also, in order to avoid crowds of visitors, this time paid seats will be set up, and although the chair seats in the north wharf area have already sold out, there is still room for 36,000 people in the waterfront park area with grass. , Tickets for 1000 yen per person will be sold at the venue on the 20th.
(Mr. Ryosuke Miya, Kagoshima City Tourism Promotion Division) “I would like everyone to see the power of live fireworks for the first time in three years with their loved ones. I would like everyone to cooperate with the corona countermeasures.”
Some people are looking forward to the first tournament in three years. Shiroyama Hotel Kagoshima underwent a renovation in April, with larger windows in some guest rooms. Since July, the number of customers has been sluggish due to the rapid spread of the new corona, but once the tournament was decided, it is said that it was full immediately.
(General manager of Shiroyama Hotel Kagoshima, Honanobu) “We received a lot of inquiries this year, and the reservations, including accommodation and restaurants, filled up quickly.”
We are planning an event on the 20th in conjunction with the tournament, but since reservations are already full and congestion is expected, we will limit access to the hotel to those who have made reservations.
(General Manager of Shiroyama Hotel Kagoshima, Honanobu) “I hope that summer night will be one of the opportunities for everyone to see the fireworks and become energized, and that they will return to their activities little by little.”
On the 20th, paid seats will be sold only in the Waterfront Park area and will be 1,000 yen per person. In addition, there are four free viewing areas, such as the site of the Dolphin Port, but admission will be restricted as soon as the number of people reaches the capacity as a countermeasure once morest the new corona infection.
Traffic restrictions such as vehicle closures will be implemented around the venue depending on the time of day. In addition to the area around the venue, roads from Tempozan Ohashi Bridge and Senganen Mae to Iso Kaido Road will also be closed to traffic depending on the time of day.
Also, this time, there will be no shuttle bus running between Kagoshima Chuo Station and the venue, but following the event, there will be a special JR train departing from JR Kagoshima Station heading for Kokubu and Kagoshima Chuo Station.
On the other hand, although there is a possibility of rain on the 20th tomorrow, the city will make a final decision on the holding on the morning of the 20th, and will announce it on the city and the tournament website.
