AUGUST | ITABASHI FIREWORKS FESTIVAL

One of the largest fireworks display in Tokyo, the Itabashi fireworks festival will light up 12,000 fireworks over the Arakawa River. The show features a giant 700 meter long Niagra Falls fireworks as their specialty. It’s about an hour and a half with reserved seating for the best seats. If you don’t want to pay for the reserve seating, you can watch nearby standing or simply sitting on the ground.

*The fireworks display is usually held in early August but was cancelled due to the corona virus in 2020 and moved to May in 2021 for the Tokyo Olympics. It is unsure on whether it will be in August moving forward.
