Summary

The Sagamihara Noryo Fireworks take place along the Sagami River in Chuo Ward, Sagamihara, on September 5, 2026, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Its roughly 10,000 shells make it one of Kanagawa's largest displays, with the aerial Niagara and a big star mine as the program's pillars. Sponsor seats sit nearest the launch sites, and rows of stalls line the venue.

Overview

Launched from the riverbed at Minamidai-Tana upstream of the Takata Bridge on the Sagami River, about 10,000 shells fill the hour between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. on September 5, 2026 — a scale that ranks among the biggest in Kanagawa Prefecture. The citizen-sponsor seats are the closest viewing to the launch points. Access is by bus: from JR Sagamihara Station to the Minamidai-Tana stop (5 minutes on foot), or from the Fuchinobe, Kamimizo or Hashimoto stations to the Tana bus terminal (15 minutes on foot). The parking lot is paid and advance-sale only, and road congestion is expected on the day, so drivers are advised to arrive early.

FAQ

Access

🚃 By Train

From JR Sagamihara Station, take a bus to Suigo Tana bus stop, then a 5-minute walk. From JR Fuchinobe Station, Kamimizo Station, or Hashimoto Station, take a bus to Tana Bus Terminal bus stop, then a 15-minute walk.

🚗 By Car

Approx. 20 minutes from Sagamihara-Aikawa IC or Sagamihara IC on the Sagami Longitudinal Expressway (Ken-O Expressway). *Roads will be congested on the day of the fireworks display, so early arrival is recommended.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 1.5–2 hours before the start; good viewing spots fill early and riverside walkways get crowded too. Parking is paid and advance-sale only, and road congestion is expected on the day, so build in extra time.

Best viewing spots

The sponsorship seats sit closest to the launch sites. With the aerial Niagara and the large star mine as the program's pillars, pick a position with an open view of the sky above.

With kids

On the riverbed, choose spots away from the water's edge and keep children within sight. Peak crowds make separation easy, so set a meeting point in advance.

Photography tips

Tripods and monopods may be restricted in the paid seating — check with staff first. Adding the river's reflection at the bottom of the frame flatters the light curtains of the aerial Niagara too.

Payment

Both paid seats and parking are advance-sale only — arrange them early if needed. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
