About the Fireworks Festival

The '39th Suzaka Everyone's Fireworks Festival' is a community-rooted fireworks event held at Momojigawa Ryokuchi Park in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture.

As many attendees access the venue by car, traffic congestion caused by vehicles waiting to pay parking fees and high staffing costs for parking management have long been persistent issues. To address these transportation challenges and operational burdens, akippa has been managing official parking since 2024. (※)

Due to its successful track record in reducing congestion at entry points and improving operational efficiency by eliminating cash payments, akippa has been selected to continue its operations in 2026.

This year, akippa will offer over 1,200 parking spaces across 8 locations under a 'pre-reservation' and 'pre-payment' system to help alleviate congestion. Additionally, on-site support will be provided to help establish a sustainable framework for the continued success of the fireworks festival in the future.

Going forward, akippa will continue to collaborate with municipalities and event organizers nationwide as a 'problem-solving company' to address diverse parking challenges.
