Performances are also staged at a few other locations across the
city, for which no tickets are available. Among them is the plaza of
Nagasaki Station, where most groups have scheduled appearances on
October 7th. Get there in advance to reserve a good spot either on the
ground level or from the elevated walkway.
It is also possible to follow the floats and dancers as they walk
through the city's districts and pay visits to supporting shops and
households during the rest of the day. Festival schedules in Japanese
and English are available at tourist information desks and hotels.
