The largest fireworks festival in Tokyo with tradition and prestige
Event cancellation announced
The “Sumida River Fireworks Festival” will be held on July 11, 2020.
The predecessor of the Sumida River Fireworks “Opening of the River at Ryogoku” began in 1733. Thereafter, there were several interruptions, but since 1978 it has been held annually as the “Sumida River Fireworks Festival”.
It is the fireworks festival that boasts the scale of the best in Kanto.
The fireworks contest held at “Venue: 1” is attracting attention for its innovative fireworks. A total of 20,000 fireworks will be launched at both venues.
You can enjoy collaboration of Tokyo Skytree and fireworks.
*You can check the holding of this event on the official Twitter.
Go to Map
Because the fireworks can be seen nearby, the area around Ryogoku Station and bridge is very crowded and you have to watch fireworks while walking. Once you join a surging crowd, it will be difficult to return.
For those who want to enjoy the fireworks relaxing even a little, we introduce the recommended spot.
【Fireworks at the first venue】
(1) Mito Road (Route 6) along at Mukojima
– Arrive at 17:00, and then wait near there.
– Because traffic regulation will be applied, then please take the better place as same as the around people.
– Fireworks at the “Venue:1” are main, but you can also see fireworks at the “Venue:2”.
(2) around Dozobori Park
– Although you can not enter the park, you can watch fireworks from the promenade around the park.
– You can see the fireworks through the fence. Here is better place that people are relatively little.
(3) Shioiri park
– Shioiri park in Arakawa-ku is located about 1 kilometers from the “Minami-Senju Station” of Tokyo Metro or JR Joban Line.
– Because it is a place away from the venue, you can see the fireworks relaxedly if you arrive one hour before the start.
【Fireworks at the second venue】
(1) Near the Higashikomagata 3-chome intersection
– It is close to the “Honjo Azumabashi Station” of Toei Asakusa Line.
– There are places where you can see the fireworks well among the buildings.
– You can see the fireworks relaxedly if good place can be taken when traffic regulation begins.
(2) The Honjo 3-chome intersection
– The nearest station is “Honjo Azumabashi Station”.
– You can see the fireworks relaxedly if good place can be taken when traffic regulation begins.
* After the Festival, the nearest station is very crowded, it takes time to get on the train. We recommend using a station that is a bit far away.
