Meiji Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival

7:30pm – 8:30pm
¥7,000 – ¥14,000

The Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival is the most urban and hence accessible of the Tokyo fireworks festivals.

What happens?

Approximately 10,000 fireworks will be hurled into the air over a paying audience within Jingu Stadium or the Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium.

Alternatively, you can set yourself up anywhere within a 1-kilometer radius for free and hope for a reasonable view. As the festival doesn’t take place over water, the fireworks don’t reach the same altitude as many of the other large festivals, so you may be disappointed. This year, there will also be musical acts.

Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
