Watch approximately 10,000 fireworks, one of the largest-scale displays in the Kanto region, from the riverbank

About this spot

Held on September 12, 2026 (Saturday), this fireworks festival marks the beginning of autumn in Chofu City. The approximately 10,000 fireworks launched from the Tamagawa area (Chofu City, Tamagawa) are among the largest-scale displays in the Kanto region, with large blooming fireworks unfolding one after another across the night sky. The impressive sight of fireworks appearing against the unobstructed night sky from this open-air venue made possible by the wide Tamagawa River is breathtaking. The moment when the finale's barrage of fireworks brightly illuminates the riverbank is a fitting climax to bring this full day to a close.

Tips

Check the city's official announcement to confirm whether the event will be held in case of bad weather. Immediately after the finale, the nearest stations and bus stops become very crowded, so it is recommended to enjoy the lingering atmosphere at the riverbank for a while after the finale before heading home at a later time. Since it will be dark underfoot, use your smartphone's light for safety.

Best time to visit

Timed to the 18:15–19:15 event hours. Make sure to secure your viewing spot at least 30 minutes before the start
