2026 Itabashi Fireworks Festival: Full-Day Enjoyment Course

With the Itabashi Fireworks Festival, held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, as the highlight, this full-day course lets you enjoy the Itabashi and Akabane areas from midday onward. In the afternoon, stroll through the greenery of Akatsuka Park and Akatsuka Tameike Park, known as one of Tokyo's leading spots for plum blossoms, and cool off at the historic Jorenji Temple. In the evening, pick up snacks at the shopping streets around Akabane Station and head to the Arakawa riverbank near Todabashi Bridge to secure a viewing spot early. Once night falls, fully enjoy the powerful sight of fireworks blooming one after another across the vast sky over the Arakawa River, from the wide lawn of the riverbank. It's a plan for savoring Itabashi's summer, reachable from central Tokyo by a single train line.
