- Ballot boxes are located under the blue & white tents at the various venues.
- You cannot vote for guest groups (past winners).
- Only brown chopsticks can be used to vote. White chopsticks (from guest groups) cannot be used.
- Even if you buy from more than one stand, please only use one set of chopsticks per day to vote.
- Each individual chopstick can be used to vote separately, i.e. you can vote for two different groups with one chopstick each or give the pair of chopsticks to a single group.
General Notes/Cautions:
- Please make use of the designated areas (green tents) at each venue to dispose of garbage.
- A "breastfeeding car" (授乳カー) is available for breastfeeding and diaper changing at the Track & Field Track venue and the north side of the Chuo Park venue.
- Please refrain from smoking in areas other than the designated smoking areas (喫煙場所).
- If you have any questions/concerns during the event, please go to the white general information tents (総合案内).
- Plan ahead: make a list of the foods you want to try and work out the costs in advance
- Come with friends so you can share and try many different foods
- Bring trays and divide and conquer! Send people out to line up for different foods and meet up later in one place to share
- Check wait times on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/b1grandprix.towada) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/b1grandprix)
- Bring your own drinks: there will be a drink sale (red & white) tent where you can buy alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks using tickets and/or cash, and there also are vending machines and convenience stores around the venue, but there will probably be long line ups and things may sell out so it's easier if you bring your own
- Bring sweets/desserts: since most of the foods are salty, you will probably be craving something sweet afterward
- Check out Towada!: while you're in the area, take the opportunity to check out the Towada Art Center/Art Park or to check out local restaurants/bars afterward (there are over 100 different places listed in the Playing & Eating in Towada Google Map!)
