Hotel Options

The Tachikawa Showa Kinen Park Fireworks Festival will see 5,000 fireworks launched, making it a medium-sized festival by Tokyo standards.

What happens?

Just under 400,000 people attend this annual fireworks festival. Expect lots of yukata and picnic baskets — it’s a nice idea to bring dinner and make an evening of it.

This year, entrance to the park is entirely free all day. You’ll get a better viewing spot the earlier you enter. It gets crowded around 5 p.m. There will also be paid seating available.
