Chōfu City Fireworks Festival happens on the grassy banks of the Tama River (downstream from the bridge on the Keio Sagamihara Line).
What happens?
The organizers aren’t skimping on the number of fireworks. 10,000 individual fireworks will go up in flames in front of an estimated audience of 350,000 people.
Schedule 2024
The opening ceremony begins at 6 p.m. and the explosions start at 6:15 p.m.
Tickets
There is a wide variety of paid seating options, with the cheapest starting from ¥4,500 and the most expensive being ¥65,000 for a reserved seat for ten people. We recommend checking out the official site to see what they have.
Where can I view the fireworks for free?
There will be a free-viewing area near the fireworks and you can start reserving a space from midnight on the day, but you’ll have to have someone in that spot — don’t just put down a sheet and walk away.
If you don’t feel like fighting for a space, then it is recommended to purchase a paid seat.
