Secure Your Spot on the Riverbank and Wait for the Show After Finishing Dinner with Food Stall Cuisine
About this spot
Sakai Riverside Park, stretching along the Tone River, is the main venue for the Tone River Great Fireworks Festival. The riverbank has excellent views and offers a vast, unobstructed sky that you can have all to yourself—an ideal viewing area. On the day of the fireworks festival, food stalls line the riverbank, building festive atmosphere. Arrange your dinner by shopping at the food stalls and enjoy it leisurely on a leisure sheet. The evening breeze crossing the Tone River is pleasant, and the changing colors of the sky as the sun sets is another delight unique to this location. Spend your time slowly before the fireworks begin, taking in the river's flow.
Fireworks details
Name: 利根川大花火大会
Date & time: 9/19 (Sat) 18:30–20:30
Venue: さかいリバーサイドパーク・境町
Shells: approx. 30,000
2026年9月19日(土)18時30分より開催の利根川大花火大会は、約30,000発という関東屈指の打上数を誇る大花火大会です。広大な利根川の河川敷からは視界を遮るものが何もなく、夜空いっぱいに広がる大輪の花火を360度のパノラマで楽しめます。大玉の打ち上げ花火が炸裂する音と振動は体の芯まで響き、迫力は格別。川面に映る光の帯も、河川敷ならではの美しさです。フィナーレに向けて打ち上げペースが上がり、夜空全体が光に包まれる瞬間は、この大会最大のクライマックス。秋の夜風の中で楽しむ約2時間は、1日の締めくくりにふさわしい圧巻の時間です。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表で事前に確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路と駐車場が大混雑します。フィナーレ後はしばらく河川敷でゆっくり余韻を楽しみ、混雑が落ち着いてから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめです。帰り道の河川敷は足元が暗いため、小さなライトがあると安心です。
Tips
On the day of the fireworks festival, spectators gather early. To secure a good spot, aim to arrive by around 4 PM. Food stalls will be crowded, so it's wise to purchase drinks early. Confirm the location of public restrooms and use them before the fireworks begin. Temperature can drop suddenly from evening onward, so have a light jacket nearby.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. Slowly enjoy the time as the sky changes color from sunset to night on the riverbank
