2026 Katsushika Cool Evening Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course

Centered on the Katsushika Cool Evening Fireworks Festival (葛飾納涼花火大会), held on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, this is a full-day course letting you enjoy the old-town charm of the Katsushika area from early afternoon onward. In the afternoon, first visit Shibamata Taishakuten (Daikyoji Temple) (柴又帝釈天(題経寺)), known as the setting for the film series It's Tough Being a Man (男はつらいよ), and snack your way along Taishakuten Sando (帝釈天参道), lined with long-established shops. Afterward, stroll around the quiet, scenic area along the Kyu-Nakagawa River (旧中川) and Tokyo Mizube Line (東京水辺ライン) near Mito Kaido (水戸街道), enjoying the old-town riverside scenery. In the evening, grab a light meal around Kanamachi, a symbol of Katsushika Ward, and once the sun sets, move to the area around Shibamata Baseball Field (柴又野球場) on the Edo River riverbank to claim your spot. About 20,000 large fireworks launched into the night sky at 7:20 p.m. are a signature summer tradition of eastern Tokyo. This is the definitive Katsushika summer plan, letting you enjoy an old-town stroll and spectacular fireworks all in one outing.
