Overlook the Tone River and Choshi Fishing Port from the observation deck, and confirm tonight's fireworks venue during the day
About this spot
A 57.7-meter tall observation tower with half-mirror glass, serving as a landmark of Choshi City. From the 4th floor observation room, you can see 360 degrees of the wide mouth of the Tone River, Choshi Fishing Port, the Pacific Ocean, and Kashima-nada, allowing you to confirm in advance the full panorama of the Tone River banks where fireworks will light up tonight. The adjacent wholesale seafood center "Wosé 21 (ウォッセ21)" carries marine products and soy sauce-related items unique to Choshi, making it convenient for souvenir shopping. The observation room is air-conditioned, allowing you to enjoy the views while cooling off during the summer daytime.

銚子みなとまつりのフィナーレを飾る花火大会で、2026年は8月8日(土)19時30分から20時20分の約50分間、利根川河畔から約8,000発が打ち上がります。港町・銚子の夏祭りを締めくくるにふさわしいスケールで、川面に映る花火の揺らぎが幻想的な情景を作り出します。スターマインや大玉など多彩なプログラムが夜空を彩り、川を渡る夜風とともに花火の音が体に響きます。フィナーレの連発が河畔と川面を一気に照らす瞬間は、銚子の夏の記憶として家族の心に残るはずです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は銚子市または大会公式の発表で確認を。終了後は銚子駅への帰宅客が集中するため、フィナーレ後は河畔で少し余韻を楽しんでから時間差で移動するのがおすすめ。足元が暗い区間があるため小さなライトを持参すると安心です。帰りの電車の時刻は事前に確認しておきましょう。
