Running for over 40 years, the Edogawa Fireworks Festival is one of the more senior fireworks festivals in Tokyo. The venue, on the banks of the Edo River, is a 25-minute walk from JR Koiwa Station and a 15-minute walk from Shinozaki Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line. You can enjoy the fireworks display from either side of the river. In Ichikawa, on the Chiba side, it’s known as the Ichikawa City Nohryo Fireworks Festival.
For 2020, the event was moved from its usual August date to May 23rd for the Olympics, and then to October due to Corona virus, before being canceled. With the Olympics scheduled to happen in 2021, the dates for 2021 and after are unclear.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Tokyo's Best Events and Cultural Activities in Your Inbox Every Week
