Tickets 2026

There is a wide variety of paid seating options, with the cheapest starting from ¥4,500 and the most expensive being ¥72,000 for a reserved table for 8 people. We recommend checking out the official site to see what they have. General sale begins on July 17 at 10 a.m.

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.
