Approximately 14,000 fireworks burst across the vast night sky of the racecourse

About this spot

The Tokyo Racecourse Fireworks launching on July 1, 2026 (Wednesday) at 7:30 PM boasts approximately 14,000 launches, among the highest numbers in Tokyo. The vast grounds of the racecourse itself serve as the viewing space, allowing you to enjoy the fireworks with an open feeling of having the wide sky to yourself. Diverse programs such as star mines and large spheres illuminate the night sky one after another, and the spectacle viewed from the grass is extraordinary. While located in an urban area, this large-scale fireworks experience is beloved by many families as a major summer event in Fuchu. The moment the finale's rapid-fire explosions fill the night sky is the climax of this full day.

Tips

About 5 minutes walk from JR Musashino Line Fuchu-Hommachi Station (府中本町駅), or about 15 minutes walk from Keio Line Fuchu Station (府中駅). Be sure to check the official Tokyo Racecourse website in advance for entry methods, fees, and opening times (same-day tickets and advance reservations may vary). After the event, both Fuchu-Hommachi Station and Fuchu Station become extremely crowded, so it's recommended to enjoy the lingering atmosphere in the venue for a while before leaving. Check the official announcement for responses to bad weather.

Best time to visit

Starting at 7:30 PM. Securing a viewing spot 20-30 minutes before the start provides peace of mind.
