Kōtō Fireworks Festival

7:00pm – 8:00pm
Free

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
Sumo Morning Practice Tour at Stable in Tokyo

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.
