Japan fireworks tickets & China attraction tickets, explained in plain English

The best nights in Japan and the great sights of China are booked online, in Japanese and Chinese systems, often against your passport — and they sell out fast. I book these tickets every week for overseas visitors. These guides show you how each system works, and where to get help when you need it.

Tsuchiura National Fireworks Competition 2026

Booking China with a foreign passport

The Forbidden City releases tickets exactly 7 days ahead at 20:00. Panda Base mornings vanish in minutes. Zhangjiajie works on a 30-day window, and your high-speed train ticket is your passport. One hub page explains all four systems.

More guides, and PokePark

PokePark KANTO — Pokémon's theme park inside Yomiuriland, Tokyo — might be the hardest ticket in Japan: no gate sales, an overseas lottery three months ahead, real-name entry. My guide explains the three passes, both booking routes, and what to do if your lottery window has closed. New fireworks festival guides also land here through the season.
