Chofu Fireworks Festival

Held along the spacious banks of the Tama River, the Chofu Fireworks Festival is a spectacular pyrotechnic display that draws massive crowds to Tokyo’s western suburbs. The event launches approximately 10,000 fireworks, illuminating the night sky with massive starmines and large-scale shells. The absolute highlight of the show is the “Hanabi-illusion,” a breathtaking sequence where rapid-fire bursts are perfectly synchronized to dramatic musical soundtracks. Visitors can watch the action from several riverside vantage points, primarily the Fuda and Keio-Tamagawa venues. Arrive early to secure a viewing spot on the grass and enjoy classic festival street food from the nearby stalls.
