The first Saturday of August is the Annual Ichikawa Shimin Noryo Firework Festival. The same firework festival also has the name Edogawa Firework Festival. It really all depends on which side of the river you watch the fireworks from, as one side is Ichikawa city in Chiba prefecture and the other is Edogawa ward of Tokyo. I always come to the Ichikawa side because it has a longer patch of land to find a spot to sit. People usually spend the night outside to block off an area to get a good spot, especially the flat areas. But if you're not too picky, a couple hours before the festival should get you a pretty good seat. This is around 5pm on the Ichikawa side. The actual fireworks start at 7pm but people come early to start the party. Lots of eating and drinking going on all day. You can't come to Japan in the summer and not experience a firework festival :) Closest Station: Ichikawa station on the JR Sobu Line. Info: There are seats in the best spots you can reserve ahead of time. They are a bit pricy but worth it if you don't want to save a place yourself. #fireworks #festival #hanabi #fireworkfestival #japan
