Panoramic view of the Sumida River and Tokyo cityscape from the 350-meter-high observation deck
About this spot
From the Tembo Deck (350 meters high) of the 634-meter-tall Tokyo Skytree, you can see the entire Sumida River winding its way toward Tokyo Bay and the downtown cityscape. You can also spot from above the riverside stretch from Sakura Bridge to Kurogane Bridge where tonight's fireworks will take place, making it ideal for getting a sense of the viewing spots. On clear days, you can see as far as Mount Fuji and Mount Tsukuba, offering a breathtaking panorama. Night views are also renowned for their beauty, but for enjoying the pre-dusk atmosphere before the fireworks, an afternoon visit during daylight hours is easier to navigate and recommended.
Fireworks details
Name: 隅田川花火大会
Date & time: 7/25 (Sat) 19:00–20:30
Venue: 墨田区・桜橋下流〜言問橋上流（第一会場）／駒形橋下流〜厩橋上流（第二会場）
Shells: approx. 20,000
1733年を起源に持つ、日本最古の花火大会のひとつです。2026年7月25日(土)19:00〜20:30、墨田区・桜橋下流から言問橋上流の第一会場と、駒形橋下流から厩橋上流の第二会場から、約20,000発が打ち上げられます。2つの会場から競い合うように繰り出すスターマイン・割物・創造花火の数々は空を余すところなく彩り、隅田川の川面に映る光の帯もまた格別の美しさ。川風に乗って届く音の振動、下町の夜空を照らす暖色の光は、江戸から続く夏の風物詩そのものです。フィナーレの大型スターマインが夜空を埋め尽くす約90分間は、この1日のクライマックスにふさわしい圧巻の光景です。
Tips
荒天・強風時は中止または延期の場合があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で必ず確認してください。終了後は浅草・押上方面のすべての駅が大混雑します。終了直後に移動せず、公園や川沿いで30分ほど余韻を楽しんでから移動すると混雑が緩和されます。帰りは最寄りの1駅隣まで歩いて乗車すると比較的スムーズです。

From Asakusa, it's right next to Tokyo Skytree Station on the Tobu Skytree Line, or about 15 minutes on foot. Admission tickets can be purchased in advance with time-slot reservations through the official website. On the festival day, crowds are expected, so advance purchase is reassuring. Admission to the Tembo Deck is 2,100 yen for adults (as of 2024) and subject to change, so check the official website for current pricing.
