Best Viewing Spots for the Drone Show
👍 Yoyogi Park Inside vs Outside - Which is Better?
- Yoyogi Park Lawn Area: The drones appear largest and it’s optimal to enjoy with live music. (Highly recommended 👍)
- Yoyogi Park Zelkova Tree Avenue Entrance (代々木公園 ケヤキ並木通り): Great for capturing Shibuya’s glamorous cityscape and the drone show in one frame.
🏃♂️ Arrival Time to Avoid Crowds
- Saturday afternoon sees significant crowds due to the ‘Theatron’ street event. It’s recommended to arrive at least 1 hour before the drone show starts near Yoyogi Park.
- The park interior is spacious enough for strollers, but be extra careful of crowds when leaving.

Pre-Visit Tips & Photography Techniques
⛔ Traffic Control Areas & Transportation Tips
On 2/14 (Sat) afternoon, there will be vehicle control in some sections of Shibuya Park Street. Shibuya Station subway and walking is the most efficient way rather than buses.
📸 Photo/Video Shooting Tips
- Exposure Compensation: Since night drones are bright, lowering exposure to about -0.7 will capture the drone colors more vividly.
- Angle: Rather than just shooting drones, slightly including Shibuya’s building silhouettes at the bottom creates a much more three-dimensional photo.
