あいにくねぶた公式サイトからの有料座席は抽選でハズレてしまった。こちらのサイトでお世話になった。公式の2倍以上費用がかさむが、誠実な対応に好感が持てた。席取りとは無縁。開始時刻間際に入場してもど迫力の光景が繰り広げられる。生涯に一度は是非にとお勧めしたい。

This was truly a 5-star experience. The tour company arranged for our Nebuta Festival tickets to be delivered to our hotel in Tokyo ahead of our planned trip two weeks later to Aomori for the festival. The tickets we had for the parade were PERFECT! We had 4 front row seats in the best location at the start of the parade. If you think you've seen a ton of parades and why bother with yet another one, think again. The Nebuta Festival parade is one of the most unforgettable experiences we've ever had: there was so much joy from all of the participants, the music (drums, chanting and flutes) was amazing, and the floats themselves are simply astonishing to witness.
