Running for over 50 years, the Edogawa Fireworks Festival is one of the more senior fireworks festivals in Tokyo.
What happens?
The festival hit its 50th edition in 2025, and its signature set piece is still the Fuji no Ōjikake, a giant Mount Fuji drawn across the sky in fireworks. At that 50th edition it was certified by Guinness World Records as the tallest mountain-shaped set-piece firework, at 59.2 meters.
Tickets
At the 2026 edition, non-reserved seats ran from ¥2,000 to ¥4,000, and reserved seats started at ¥5,000, rising to ¥26,000 for a four-person sheet in the best block. Edogawa Ward residents get first crack in late May, with general sales from mid-June. Everything sold out well before the day, so book early.
