Major Fireworks Festivals in Tokyo
Sumida River Fireworks Festival
The flagship of Tokyo's fireworks festivals. Against the backdrop of Asakusa's old-town charm and the Skytree, around 20,000 fireworks illuminate the summer night sky.
Adachi City Fireworks Festival
Held the evening before the Sumida River Fireworks, this festival is one of the fastest-paced in Kanto. The appeal lies in launching about 10,000 fireworks in roughly an hour.
Edogawa City Fireworks Festival
A large-scale festival held along the Edogawa riverbed, on the border of Tokyo and Chiba. Around 14,000 fireworks create spectacular scenes across the wide riverbank.
Access and Viewing Tips
Major venues are within walking distance of central JR and subway stations, but be prepared for massive crowds of tens of thousands on the day. Consider getting off one or two stations away and walking to avoid the worst congestion. To skip the post-show rush, plan alternative return routes in advance.
