Summary
The Nagatoro Funadama Festival marks its summer observance along the Iwadatami rock formations on the Arakawa River in Nagatoro, Saitama, on August 15, 2026. Around 3,000 fireworks, including set pieces and Niagara-style cascades, rise between 19:15 and 20:45, following lantern boats and floating lanterns on the water. Roughly 70,000 people attend each year; Nagatoro Station on the Chichibu Railway is a five-minute walk away.
Overview
Nagatoro Funadama Festival Fireworks take place around the Nagatoro Iwadatami riverbank on August 15, 2026, with about 3,000 shells fired in a 90-minute program from 19:15. Before the show, illuminated festival boats carry Chichibu float music from 17:10, and floating lanterns are set on the river from 18:20, letting the evening pass from water-borne rituals to fireworks. The venue is a five-minute walk from Nagatoro Station, and drivers can reach it in about 25 minutes from the Hanazono IC, with a paid lot of 1,000 spaces nearby. With about 70,000 attendees, riverside spots go quickly — arrive early.
