About this spot
Sumida Park, stretching along both banks of the Sumida River, is one of the primary viewing areas for the Sumida River Fireworks Festival. The riverside on the Sumida Ward side is close to both the first and second viewing venues, offering an excellent vantage point to watch the fireworks with the river landscape directly in front of you. On festival day, numerous food stalls line the area, and the evening bustle is pure festival atmosphere. Spread a leisure sheet, enjoy dinner while watching the sun set, and gradually build anticipation for the fireworks display. The park is also known as a famous cherry blossom site, and in summer, the lush green trees provide shade that alleviates the daytime heat.
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。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
About 10 minutes walk from Higashimukojima Station or Hikirune Station on the Tobu Skytree Line. On festival day, traffic restrictions are in place in the park, so check the latest entry restrictions through official Sumida Ward announcements. Prime spots fill up rapidly from around 5 PM, so secure your spot early. Food and beverages at stalls sell out quickly, so bringing your own drinks is reassuring.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours required. At dusk, the Sumida River breeze is pleasant and anticipation for the evening builds.
