Summary

Closing out the community summer festival in Kasukabe, Saitama, the Kasukabe O-Dako fireworks send about 1,000 shells up over roughly 50 minutes from 20:10 on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at Showa General Park. The festival even recruits participants for its torch-lighting ceremony. The nearest station, Minami-Sakurai on the Tobu Urban Park Line, is a 25-minute walk away, and because parking is limited, official guidance points visitors to public transport.

Overview

This display closes out the Showa-district summer in Kasukabe, serving as the finale of the local community festival. From 20:10, about 1,000 shells paint the park's sky for 50 minutes, and the festival's torch-lighting ceremony — open to participants — gives the evening a local, shared feel. Showa General Park is a 25-minute walk from Minami-Sakurai Station on the Tobu Urban Park Line. With parking capacity tight, the official guidance recommends trains over cars; paid grandstand seats are offered and food stalls set up on site. Drivers coming via the Tohoku Expressway Iwatsuki IC (about 30 minutes) should allow extra time for congestion.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

The display starts at 20:10, so arrive by 19:30–19:45. It is a 25-minute walk from Minami-Sakurai Station, so work backward from your train's arrival time. Parking is limited and public transport is the recommended way to come.

With kids

The park venue feels open, but with a late-evening start the crowds thicken on the way out. Set a meeting point with your children and let them know there is no rush leaving after the finale.

Photography tips

The park's open space lends itself to wide compositions of sky and fireworks. Where walking routes overlap the viewing area, be considerate when setting up tripods.

Payment

Viewing is free, with paid grandstand seats also offered — check the official site for pricing. Food stalls are cash-based, so carry coins and small bills.
