Approximately 12,000 Fireworks Illuminate the Night Sky Above the Edo River—the Day's Climax

About this spot

The Matsudo Fireworks Festival features approximately 12,000 fireworks launching from the Edo River riverside—one of Chiba Prefecture's premier summer fireworks festivals. From large shell starmine to rapid-fire sequences, the fireworks spread across the full width of the river have an overwhelming scale when viewed from the front. The band of light reflected on the river surface and the sound resonating along the riverside are unique pleasures of a riverside location. The composition that gradually builds toward the finale becomes a time the whole family can enjoy while cheering together. It's the perfect finale to a day spent walking around since the afternoon—truly the main attraction of a summer night.

Tips

Confirm the event time on the official festival website and Matsudo City announcements (times may change on the day). Check official announcements for cancellation or postponement information in case of bad weather. After the show, the return route to Matsudo Station becomes very congested, so it's recommended to enjoy the lingering atmosphere on the riverside for a bit longer before moving with time-staggered traffic.

Best time to visit

Get seated on your sheet and settle into viewing position 20-30 minutes before the scheduled start time.
