Latest Events in Akishima(July Updated)

The Tachikawa Festival National Showa Kinen Park Fireworks Display will be held in Tachikawa, Tokyo. This summer tradition of Tachikawa is characterized by its ability to keep spectators entertained from start to finish, including spectacular fireworks rarely seen in Tokyo and star thunders with a diameter of 130 cm.

The Akishima Kujira Festival is a traditional summer event that represents the heart and soul of Akishima City. It is more than just a fireworks display; "Yume Hanabi" draws visitors and locals alike, marking the festival with a magical finale. The charm of this festival lies in the community-driven atmosphere - the spirit of cooperation shines through parades, performances, and the warmth of local camaraderie. A standout feature of this festival is the breathtaking display of fireworks. With the spacious Showa Park as the venue, the location of the launch site enhances the experience, creating an immersive experience where dazzling colors light up the sky and loud roars echo through the air.

At Showa Kinen Park (Tachikawa City, Tokyo), the "Autumn Night Walk 2024" event will be held from October 31 (Thursday) to December 1, with lights at night that make the yellow and autumn leaves stand out even more. Held on Sunday. This year is the fifth time it has been held, and in addition to the lighting of the ginkgo trees and the Japanese garden, the bonsai garden, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of the opening of the park, will also be open at night, and the bonsai trees can also be illuminated. Enjoy a "special autumn" different from previous years, including the display of famous products not seen in other festivals. The highlight of this year is the Bonsai Garden Night View event. The Bonsai Garden was established in November 2004 as Japan's first state-run mature bonsai exhibition facility. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the park, and we will hold a special Bonsai Garden Night View event. In order to show the best qualities of bonsai, we pay special attention to the color and lighting of the lights, and we also work on the fusion of traditional Japanese culture and digital technology, such as using a large projector to project moving images. The illuminations of the "Kataai Ginkgo Trees" and "Japanese Gardens", which are held every year, will continue. The "Kataai Ginkgo Trees", in particular, is a very popular photo spot with a sound and light show, and 98 ginkgo trees are lined up in a row for 300m, which is spectacular. In addition, the Japanese Garden welcomes visitors with "Japanese" effects, such as the use of Japanese umbrellas and wind chimes, and free rental of Japanese umbrellas. Strolling along the pond, you can see about 300 maple trees illuminated by lights and pine trees covered with snow. A wonderful view different from the daytime will unfold.
