I don’t know if there’s anything to see at 2AM but if you plan to observe the festivities, I highly recommend being there for the start of the parade a 6AM. If you can get to the shrine (Fujisaki Hachiman-gu) a little before 6AM you should be able to see where people are lining up to view. If I can get around to it, I’d like to post a map of the route so you can choose a spot farther away from the starting point (the shrine) if you like. But, it’s going to be really hot tomorrow so that’s one reason (in addition to others) that I strongly recommend getting there early.
