Koto Fireworks Festival

With just around 6,000 shells of fireworks, Koto ward’s annual hanabi (fireworks) may not be as big as Tokyo’s other fireworks displays, but the scenic location more than makes up for it. Head over to the Arakawa Sunamachi Riverside Park and expect a beautiful show happening just 150m in front of you. Since the festival this year is held on a public holiday, expect a bigger crowd than usual.

Seating reservations are required to access the venue, with ticket prices starting at ¥5,000 per seat. You can make your bookings online.
