The Sumida River Fireworks Festival is widely known by the common people as an event that inherits the traditional Ryogoku River Fireworks Festival.
The Sumida River Fireworks Festival, which celebrates its 39th anniversary this year, was held on July 31.
The first venue is lower Sakurabashi-Upstream Kototoi Bridge (starter: Marutamaya Kokatsu Fireworks Store Co., Ltd.), and the second venue is Komagata Bridge-Upstream Umaya Bridge (starter: Hosoya Enterprise Co., Ltd.)
At the first venue, a total of 10 fireworks contests will be held by a total of 10 companies, including 7 companies related to Ryogoku Fireworks and 3 companies with excellent results in Japan's leading fireworks festival.
Blessed with the weather, the launch of a total of about 20,000 fireworks started in the evening with loud noises.
This year, fireworks expressed in five colors will also appear in connection with the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics just before the opening.
From 2012, it has become a new attraction to enjoy fireworks along with the appearance of the Sky Tree, but Sumida River Ohashi is one of the viewpoints that both can enjoy while looking away from Kiyosu Bridge.
Every time the fireworks are launched, a loud cheer is heard from visitors in yukata.
