Summary

Lake Sagami in Sagamihara, Kanagawa hosts its lake-surface fireworks on August 1 — a tradition running since 1948. From 7:30 pm, about 4,000 shells fill roughly 70 minutes over the water, with a rich program of star mines, 2.5-sun, shaku and No. 8 shells set against the vast lake. Around 50,000 attend each year.

Overview

The Sagamiko Lake Festival Fireworks light up Lake Sagami in Midori Ward, Sagamihara City on August 1, a show with roots in 1948. Between 7:30 and 8:40 pm, about 70 minutes in all, roughly 4,000 shells rise over the lake — star mines, 2.5-sun shells, shakudama and No. 8 shells — spreading across the sky with the wide lake as their backdrop, in front of a crowd of about 50,000. Alongside the fireworks, the lake hosts festival events such as the Sagamiko-bayashi music. JR Sagamiko Station is a 10-minute walk. Five paid lots (2,000 yen per entry, 758 spaces total) sit nearby, but traffic restrictions apply around the venue from 5 to 10 pm, so drivers should arrive early and check the restricted routes.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arrive about an hour before the 7:30 pm start; lakeside space fills from early evening. Traffic restrictions run 5–10 pm around the venue, so if driving, plan for the paid lots (2,000 yen per entry) and arrive early.

Best viewing spots

Watching the lake fireworks against the surface of Sagami Lake is the show's signature. The bursts reflect on the water, so securing a spot where the lake falls within view is worth doing early.

With kids

At the lakeside, keep children away from the water and hold their hands. Crowds make separation easy — agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are fine, but tripods and monopods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff first. A composition taking in both the lake fireworks and their reflections on the water works beautifully.

Payment

Buy paid seats in advance where possible. Nearby lots charge 2,000 yen per entry. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
