Edogawa Fireworks Festival (江戸川区花火大会)
Time: Early August
Prefecture: Tokyo
Location: Edogawa River
This particular festival features two fireworks shows held simultaneously, with the Edo River running through the middle. On one side of the river is Ichikawa City, Chiba, and on the other side is Edogawa-ku, Tokyo. The friendly competition between both sides adds an extra layer of excitement to the event.
For the complete festival experience, attendees often dress in yukatas (summer cotton kimonos) and indulge in the diverse culinary offerings from the yatai stores (food stalls) along the riverbanks. This combination of stunning fireworks displays, traditional attire, and delicious street food makes the Edogawa Hanabi Taikai a memorable and festive occasion.
