The 25th Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival was held in Harumi on August 10, when the heat was record in various parts of the Japanese Islands and exceeded 37 ° C for the first time in six years in the city center. Organized by the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival Executive Committee, Chuo-ku, and Asahi Shimbun.
Apply in advance and get an admission ticket. The venue is Harumi main venue (in Chuo-ku, Harumi second venue). The capacity is about 50,000 (Harumi No. 2 venue is about 42,000). Open at 17:00. Blue sheets were laid in several blocks throughout the venue, and each one was taking up on it. At around 17:30 when I arrived at the venue, every seat was filled with many people, but it seemed that there was still room ahead. I have a little forward in the middle.
Until 18:50, the launch start time, announcements such as the availability of viewing places and explanations of fireworks were flowing in the venue. As I mentioned earlier, this venue requires an admission ticket, and the restrictions for up to two people and the opening time were fixed, so it seems that everyone was relatively quiet and waiting until the launch started I think.
The launch time was approaching, and the entire venue counted down 10 seconds in advance, and colorful fireworks were launched one after another. Fireworks of the character "Yurito" with the motif of the bird Yurikamome in the capital also appeared.
All pyrotechnician's works from all over Japan were powerful and cheered from the whole venue. Also, when a shaku five-squat ball (diameter about 45 cm) is launched, it spreads to about 400 m above the sky, and the vibration resonates with the ground and the body, which is breathtaking.
Approximately 12,000 fireworks colored the night sky of Tokyo Bay. The total number of spectators this year was about 680,000.
It has passed the fall on the calendar, but the heat is likely to continue. However, it was a time when I could forget the heat with power and beauty.
