Summary

The Shinmei Fireworks Festival lights up the Fuefuki River banks downstream of Sango Bridge in Ichikawamisato, Yamanashi, on August 7 — 'Fireworks Day' — 2026. One of the prefecture's largest displays, it sends up some 20,000 shells from 7:15 p.m., with a music-driven, story-style program that plays to both eye and ear. Around 80 food stalls line the riverbank and paid seating is available, with attendance typically around 200,000.

Overview

Staged every August 7 — Japan's 'Fireworks Day' — the Shinmei display is among Yamanashi's biggest: roughly 20,000 shells from the riverbank below Sango Bridge, running until 9:00 p.m. with music-synced, narrative sequences at its core. JR Ichikawadaimon Station is a 10-minute walk from the venue. A free 4,000-space lot and a reservation-only paid lot serve drivers, though congestion is expected and public transport or early arrival is advised. The riverbank fills with about 80 food stalls, and those wanting a relaxed view can opt for the paid seating.

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. A free lot (4,000 spaces) and a reservation-only paid lot exist, but congestion is expected — arrive early.

With kids

Along the riverbank, pick spots away from the water's edge and keep children within sight. Peak crowds make separation easy, so agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Tripods and monopods may be restricted in the paid seating — check with staff first. Keeping the river's reflection at the bottom of the frame pairs the sky's blooms with their mirror image.

Payment

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