From Tokyo and Kamakura to Hokkaido and Aichi, 32 Japan fireworks festivals as scheduled around July 2026 β most repeat yearly around the same dates, so this doubles as a planning reference for next year.
This roundup captures Japan's July 2026 fireworks schedule as it stood at the time of writing. Depending on when you're reading this, some of these dates may already have passed β that's fine, since most Japanese fireworks festivals are annual events that recur around the same time and place each year, so treat this as a reference for planning the same month next year. Dates and shell counts are carried over exactly as announced at the time, with nothing estimated or invented, and you should always verify current dates against each festival's official organizer announcement before making plans.
The 32 festivals are grouped roughly by region β Tokyo/Kanto, Hokkaido, Tokai/Kinki, then Tohoku/Hokuriku/Chugoku β so you can scan by area. Each entry covers not just location and scale but travel logistics and crowd safety, since large events like the Sumida River or Tokyo Racecourse shows often bring station entry restrictions or crowd pressure right after the finale β never push forward in a dense crowd, and always follow on-site safety staff first.
