Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival - Tokyo Downtown Fireworks Festival

The Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival is an urban fireworks festival that began in 1980 and is held in central Tokyo. In the verdant environment of Meiji Jingu Gaien, approximately 10,000 fireworks light up the night sky every August, bringing joy and emotion to many people. The biggest feature of this fireworks festival is that you can enjoy both fireworks and live concerts by famous artists simultaneously from the comfortable seats of outdoor stadiums such as baseball and rugby fields. Unlike typical fireworks festivals held by rivers or seasides, this festival eliminates the need for securing viewing spots as seats are guaranteed, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy the spectacle. The fireworks, launched for about an hour each year, mainly feature starmine displays that captivate visitors with spectacular views combined with the urban nightscape. With its convenient location in central Tokyo, the festival has become popular among international tourists as part of Tokyo sightseeing and has established itself as a representative event of Japan's summer traditions.
