[Request to visitors]

・When taking photographs or videos, please refrain from using flash photography, drone photography, or long-term photography using a tripod in the front row when it is crowded. In addition, the shutter sound of continuous shooting may be a nuisance to those around you, so please refrain from continuous shooting or use the silent shooting function when it is crowded. Since the movement of the image is fast, we recommend that you use a smartphone to shoot videos.

・When using a tripod, the camera position must be no higher than head height, regardless of the viewing location (except for filming by official record staff). In addition, please refrain from filming using ladders or other objects whose feet do not touch the ground.
