Summer visit to a traditional downtown shrine with beautiful drum bridges and ponds
About this spot
A historic shrine located in Kameido, Koto Ward, dedicated to Sugawara Michizane (菅原道真公), the deity of learning. The grounds feature three vermillion-painted drum bridges spanning small streams and ponds, with the beautiful contrast of greenery and the bridges reflected in the water making it a renowned landmark of the traditional downtown area. While the spring wisteria festival is particularly famous, the summer greenery also creates a calm atmosphere in the shrine grounds. On the day of the fireworks festival, the area around the shrine fills with people in summer kimonos, enhancing the festival atmosphere. After your visit, enjoy a traditional downtown experience by walking through the shopping streets around Kameido.

毎年8月に江戸川区の江戸川河川敷で開催される、約14,000発の大花火大会です。打ち上げ数の多さと多彩なプログラムで関東有数の規模を誇り、広大な河川敷から遮るものなく見上げる花火は迫力満点。川面に映る光の帯と空に広がる大輪の組み合わせが、河川敷ならではの醍醐味です。19時15分の開演から20時20分のフィナーレまで、休む間もなく打ち上げが続く65分間は、家族の夏の記憶に深く刻まれるひとときになります。対岸の市川市側からも観覧でき、多くの人で河川敷が埋め尽くされる夏の大イベントです。
Tips
荒天時は中止または延期となるため、当日の開催可否は江戸川区の公式発表で必ず確認を。終了後は都営新宿線篠崎駅・一之江駅への道が大変混み合います。フィナーレ後は河川敷でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから時間差で移動するか、徒歩圏内の複数駅への分散を検討してください。帰り道の河川敷は足元が暗いため、スマホのライトや小型ライトがあると安心です。
