Summary

The 6th Kawaguchi Fireworks — staged as 'RE.START Nov SKY Dream' and dedicated to a triple anniversary of the Kawaguchi Chamber of Commerce (90 years, plus 40 for its youth division and 30 for its women's committee) — fires roughly 11,100 shells over the Arakawa Sports Park on November 14, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. About 79,000 spectators attend the mid-November mega-night: paid seating, food stalls, no parking, rail first.

Overview

Mid-November fireworks on this scale are rare anywhere in Japan; Kawaguchi commits anyway. On November 14, 2026, the sixth edition of the city's fireworks festival — titled 'RE.START Nov SKY Dream' and dedicated to a triple anniversary of the Kawaguchi Chamber of Commerce: 90 years since founding, 40 for its youth division, 30 for its women's committee — launches about 11,100 shells from 6:00 p.m. at the Arakawa Sports Park ground and levee slope. Roughly 79,000 people attend, organized through paid seating tiers and free levee space, with food stalls along the approaches. No event parking is offered; the rail-first design is explicit. Tickets and details run through the event's official site. Bundle up: this is genuinely early-winter viewing.

Highlights

An 11,100-shell November mega-show marking a chamber of commerce's 90th anniversary.

FAQ

Access

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving about an hour before the start is enough to find a viewing spot, but entrances and riverside walkways get crowded. There is no parking, so plan to come by public transport.

Best viewing spots

Viewing areas use the sports ground and the embankment slope of Arakawa Undo Park. Sitting on the slope lets you enjoy both the fireworks reflected on the river and the wide open sky — claim a good spot early.

With kids

On the embankment slope and along the river, pick a spot away from the water's edge and keep children within sight. With big crowds it is easy to get separated, so 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. From the embankment slope the fireworks reflect on the river, so keeping the water in the lower frame captures the reflections too.

Payment

Buy paid seats in advance where possible. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
