Tokyo Sumida River Fireworks Festival, Tokyo August Hanabi Summary.

Did you know that the Tokyo Sumida River Fireworks Festival is held every year on the last Saturday of July!? 📍 Asakusa Sumida River ⏰ 19:00~20:00 The fireworks display lasts for an hour, with a total of 20,000 fireworks being launched. There are two launch sites, and the fireworks are alternately or simultaneously launched from both locations. It's such a big festival that it attracts a diverse crowd of locals and tourists. The area around Asakusa Station is heavily congested, so I watched the fireworks from Honjo-Azumabashi Station. Honjo-Azumabashi Station is just one stop away from Asakusa Station. It was less crowded than Asakusa, making it easier to walk around. Near Honjo-Azumabashi Station, many people lay out mats to watch the fireworks at Oyokogawa Shinsui Park, but personally, I recommend walking around to enjoy the view instead of sitting on a mat. 📌 Tokyo Fireworks Festival Schedule in August, Tokyo Hanabi Schedule in August 1️⃣ Yokohama Minato Mirai Smart Festival 2024 🗓️ 8/5 ⏰ 19:30~19:55 📍 Yokohama Minato Mirai 21 Cup Noodles Museum Park Area 📌 Number of Fireworks: 20,000 2️⃣ Itabashi Fireworks Festival 🗓️ 8/3 ⏰ 19:00~20:30 📍 Itabashi-ku Arakawa Todabashi Green Space 📌 Number of Fireworks: 15,000 3️⃣ Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival 🗓️ 8/10 ⏰ 19:30~20:30 📍 Shinjuku-ku Meiji Jingu Gaien (Meiji Jingu Stadium) 📌 Number of Fireworks: 10,000 4️⃣ Edogawa Fireworks Festival 🗓️ 8/24 ⏰ 19:15~20:20 📍 Edogawa River Area (Tokyo Metropolitan Shinozaki Park) 📌 Number of Fireworks: 14,000 Watching fireworks in Japan is a romantic experience, so if you're planning a trip to Tokyo in August, it might be a good idea to align your schedule with the fireworks festivals.
