Popular Fireworks Festivals in Japan

✨No.4 Tenjin Festival Fireworks (Osaka) The Tenjin Festival lasts for about a month from late June to July 25th every year. When the festival comes to its final day, offering fireworks becomes a symbol of the end of the festival💫. At that time, more than 100 festival boats 🚢 will sail on the Okawa River in Osaka, and about 3,000 fireworks will light up the entire night sky 💡. The dazzling fireworks and the boats on the river complement each other. This is both a festival of fire and a festival of water. There is another highlight of the Tenjin Festival fireworks, which is Japan's unique plum blossom-shaped fireworks "Red Plum" 🌺. Don’t miss the opportunity to admire the beautiful blooming of red plum blossoms in the night sky when you visit the site. ⌚️Time: Sunset to around 21:00 📍Location: Kita-ku, Osaka City / Kawasaki Park, Sakuranomiya Park ✨No.5 Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival (Osaka) Different from the origins of many fireworks festivals, the predecessor of the Naniwa Fireworks Festival originated from a volunteer activity by local citizens in 1989🙋🏻‍♀️. The fireworks on site will rise into the sky accompanied by music, as if they are dancing, which is also a major attraction. ⌚️Time: 19:30-20:30 📍Location: Yodogawa-ku, Osaka City/Shin-Midosuji Yodosuji Bridge, along the Yodogawa River ✨No.6 Katsushika Summer Fireworks Festival (Tokyo) The Katsushika City Tourism Association hosts the Summer Fireworks Festival, which is held in late July every year. It is a fireworks festival with a Tokyo downtown style. Because the 👀 viewing seats are very close to the fireworks launch area, the shocking feeling when watching it live is also unique. About 13,000 fireworks are launched every year👈, it is a fireworks festival in the Tokyo area that you cannot miss! ⌚️Time: 19:20-20:30 📍Address: Shibamata Baseball Stadium, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, Edogawa Riverbank ✨No.7 Chikugo River Fireworks Festival (Fukuoka) The Chikugo River Fireworks Festival has a long history. In 1650, in order to celebrate the completion of the Suitengu Shrine, local people set off fireworks to celebrate. Since then, at the end of the Water Festival hosted by Suitengu every year, a fireworks display will be held, which has a history of more than 350 years. Today, as the leading fireworks festival in western Japan, there are two special venues for viewing fireworks, namely Kyomachi Venue and Sasayama Venue. Seeing the giant fireworks rising into the sky and reflected on the surface of the Chikugo River in the midsummer night sky is a 📷check-in activity not to be missed in Fukuoka. ⌚️Time: 19:40-20:10
