No — there is no parking, and from 5 pm to around 10 pm neither cars nor bicycles may enter the area. Spread out between Toei Shinozaki Station (15-minute walk) and Koiwa or Keisei Edogawa Stations (25 minutes).

When should I arrive?

The 30,000 figure counts only the sponsor and paid seats, so allowing for the free areas, arrive 1.5–2 hours before the start. Shinozaki Station is crowded both ways.

Is there paid seating?

Yes — sponsor seats and other paid options go on general sale around mid-June most years. See the official site for details.

Is photography allowed?

Yes — set a wide frame for the many large shells, and use tripods considerately in crowded areas.

Summary

The 51st Edo River Fireworks light up August 1, 2026, from the Edogawa riverbed past Shirasagi Metropolitan Park. Handled by the 360-year-old Kagiya house, some 14,000 shells run just over an hour from 7:15 pm, known for layered structure and music-synced staging. Paid-seat sales usually open in mid-June.

Overview

The multi-layered bursts and music-synchronized program are the hallmarks of this Tokyo riverside show. There is no parking at all: traffic restrictions run from 5 pm to around 10 pm, and neither cars nor bicycles may approach. Toei Shinozaki Station (15-minute walk) is extremely crowded both ways, so spreading out via Koiwa or Keisei Edogawa Stations (25 minutes on foot) is the practical plan. The stated attendance of about 30,000 counts only the sponsor and paid seats.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

The stated attendance of about 30,000 covers the sponsor and paid seats only, so the free areas push the total higher. Aim to arrive 1.5–2 hours before the start: riverside walkways and Shinozaki Station are crowded both ways.

With kids

On the riverbed keep children in sight and away from the water's edge. Trains are packed after the show, so families with small children may prefer to start heading back a little early.

Photography tips

Photography is free, but use tripods considerately in crowded areas. With plenty of large shells in the program, a wide frame helps keep the full burst in view.

Payment

Buy the paid sponsor seats in advance — general sales usually start in mid-June. There are no food stalls at the venue, so eat beforehand.
