The largest number of fireworks in Japan!? See 30,000 fireworks at the Tone River Fireworks Festival 2025

This year, 30,000 fireworks will be launched into the sky! 🎆 I went to the Tone River Fireworks Festival 2025!!! It's a bit inconveniently located, requiring only a bus🚌 or car from the nearest station... But it's the fireworks festival with the most fireworks in Japan! The finale is always amazing, and there are so many fireworks you can't fit in a camera, I go back again and again! 😂 It's a beautiful fireworks festival, but there are some things you should know beforehand! I've summarized them below!! I hope this helps you when you go next year! 🫶 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ✔️Points to Know in Advance 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ⚫︎If you want to see paid seats, they become available from around July each year, so be sure to check the official website early! 🎫 ⚫︎You'll need to get to the venue by bus or car. Advance reservations are required for bus🚌 and parking🚗! Tickets go on sale around July each year, so be sure to check the official website in advance! ⚫︎Free seating is shrinking every year...!!! You may suddenly find yourself unable to see from a spot where you were previously able to see. Since the official website doesn't have information, we recommend checking social media in advance. 🔍 ※Since it's quite visible from a distance, it's a good idea to walk around and find a spot with good visibility on the day. 🙆♀️ ⚫︎There will be long lines for the restrooms. 🚻 Arrive early and wait in line for the restroom, or arrive just before or around the start of the fireworks. ---- 📍Access 🚌Take the special bus from Koga Station or Minami-Kurihashi Station (reservation required) or 🚗Drive to the parking lot and walk (reservations required) 🎇Price Check the official website for paid seating prices! ✨Date September 13, 2025 (Saturday) 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM ---- #FireworksFestival #TonegawaFireworksFestival #IbarakiTourism

Tonegawa Fireworks Festival

Japan Bucket List Alert: Experience the Sakai-Tonegawa Fireworks Festival like a local! 🎆 Sparkling September skies, riverside vibes, and over 30,000 fireworks lighting up the Tone Riverbed — this is the stuff Insta dreams are made of. Must-See Festival Guide: Tonegawa Fireworks Festival Location: Sakai Riverside Park (Tonegawa Riverbank), Sakai Town, Sashima District, Ibaraki Prefecture Date: September 13, 2025 Time: The show usually starts after sunset, but locals know — arrive early for the best spots! Local trains and buses run straight to Sakai, making access easy even for newbies. Pro Tips: Arrive early: The riverside fills up fast, especially prime viewing spots. Bring a picnic or snacks (convenience stores nearby are clutch!), plus a blanket or portable chair. Choreographed to music: The show is perfectly synced to a live soundtrack booming across the river. For the best audio experience, sit closer to the main stage. Transport hack: Use the train to Sakai Station, then catch a local bus or take a short walk to Riverside Park. Trains will be crowded post-show, so factor in patience or enjoy a late-night snack before heading back. Extras: No entry fee! Restrooms are available on-site, but lines can be long right before the show — plan ahead. It gets chilly at night in September, so pack a light jacket. Food recs: Grab local festival snacks from stalls near the riverbank — yakitori and takoyaki are classic Japanese street eats you can’t miss 🌽🍡. #JapanFireworks #SakaiFestival #IbarakiTravel #TravelTips #tripdotcom
