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
Get Tickets To the Samurai Restaurant in Shinjuku (Up to 30% Off)
Experience one of the craziest, most colorful places in Tokyo — the all-new Samurai Restaurant, from the creators of the Robot Restaurant. Get your tickets and sit back for a wild show of lasers, lights, samurai, dancers and other uniquely Japanese weirdness.
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.
