Witness Approximately 15,000 Fireworks Illuminating the Summer Night Sky in Spectacular Fashion—Combined with the Itabashi Fireworks Festival, Viewed from the Riverbed

About this spot

The Toda Bridge Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 7 PM to 8:30 PM on the Arakawa riverbed in Toda City, Saitama Prefecture. Combined with the simultaneous Itabashi Fireworks Festival on the opposite bank, the total launch count reaches approximately 15,000 fireworks, and the spectacular sight of fireworks launching from both riverbanks across the Saitama-Tokyo prefectural border is its greatest attraction. One after another, large blooms open in the sky above the wide Arakawa, and combined with bands of light wavering on the water's surface, fireworks fill your entire field of vision. The 1 hour 30 minutes leading to the finale, filled with rapid bursts, offers overwhelming impact and openness unique to a summer river.
