Matsudo Fireworks Festival 2026 — 12,000 colorful fireworks bloom proudly in the night sky
Matsudo's summer fireworks fill the Furugasaki riverbed on 1 August — 12,000 shells across just over an hour, and crowds of around 270,000 on last year's figures. Paid sheet and photographer seats line the launch field, with food trucks planned in the paid area. There is no venue parking: visitors walk about 35 minutes from Matsudo or Kita-Matsudo Station.
This is one of the greater Tokyo area's large riverside displays, and the scale shows — a dense hour-long programme fired over the river, with paid seating options for those who want a reserved spot and a food-truck corner inside the paid area. Getting there means walking: roughly 35 minutes from either Matsudo or Kita-Matsudo Station, with no parking provided and riverside paths packed as the evening goes on. Position yourself early, expect heavy crowding at the station gates afterwards, and allow generous time for the journey home. Seat types, prices and programme details are published on the event's official site.
