The annual Kōtō Ward Fireworks Festival will see 6,000 fireworks going off — making it about a third of the size of Tokyo’s biggest fireworks festivals. It’s still a good, colorful show in a nice spot — Sunamachi Mizube Park, near the Arakawa River.
Tickets
Details for 2025 are yet to be announced, but last year, all seating was reserved and cost ¥5,000.
You won’t be allowed near the venue without a ticket. Kōtō residents will get first dibs when it comes to tickets.
Suggested Activity
Experience the Traditional Art of Kintsugi
Looking for something different? Try a kintsugi class in Tokyo. Kintsugi is the art of repairing old pottery with gold. In this one-hour workshop, you'll learn the delicate art of gold repair, and create your own unique souvenir to take home. You'll even dress in samue, the traditional outfit of craftsmen.
Where can I see the fireworks for free?
There will be almost no free spots near the launch point, but if you travel farther afield, you may get lucky. Kasai Bridge is a popular viewing spot, as well as the opposite river bank near Nishi-Kasai Station.
How to get there
The venue is 15 minutes from Minami-Sunamachi Station.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
