About this spot

The Edogawa Riverbank, venue for the Edogawa Ward Fireworks Festival, becomes filled with food stalls from evening on the festival day, surrounded by the festive atmosphere. Enjoy classic summer festival fare such as yakisoba (fried noodles), shaved ice, and karaage (fried chicken) at the food stall area while securing a good viewing spot before the performance begins. The vast grassy and sandy riverbank is perfect for spreading out a leisure sheet and enjoying the show comfortably. The changing colors of the sky as sunset illuminates the river and transitions into night provides a fitting finale to your day.

Tips

Roads around the venue and nearby stations become extremely crowded on the day of the fireworks festival. Shinozaki Station (篠崎駅) and Ichinohe Station (一之江駅) on the Toei Shinjuku Line are the nearest, but early arrival is recommended as congestion is severe from 2 hours before the start through the return journey. Temporary restrooms are provided but expect long lines, so use them early. Be careful with valuables and always take your trash with you.
