About Itabashi Fireworks Festival
- Immersive Sound & Light: Because the launch site is close to the spectators, you can feel the intense vibration of the massive 'Shakugosun-dama' shells.
- The Great Niagara: The 700-meter-long 'Great Niagara' waterfall is one of the most unforgettable moments of the night.
- Plan Ahead: To ensure a comfortable view, check the official website in advance for information on paid reserved and unreserved seating options.
