Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival 2026 Confirmed

神宮外苑花火大会 — Tokyo (Kanto)

The Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival launches about 10,000 shells from the middle of Tokyo's Meiji Jingu Gaien sports district, with the paid audience seated inside Jingu Stadium and the neighboring grounds — a fireworks show staged like a stadium concert, complete with live music acts before and between the pyrotechnics.

Background

Running since 1980, it is central Tokyo's other major fireworks event alongside Sumida River, and the only one where the primary viewing is from stadium seats.

Getting there

Jingu Stadium is a short walk from Gaiemmae Station (Ginza Line), Aoyama-itchome, or JR Sendagaya/Shinanomachi stations. Being mid-city, access is easy — the constraint is tickets, not transport.

Tips

• Buy stadium tickets in advance — this is a ticketed show, and while fragments are visible from surrounding streets, the experience is designed around the stadium.
• It's the rare fireworks event with a rain-date the following day; check which artists perform on which night, as lineups differ.
• Seats high in the stands give a better full-sky view than premium field seats.
• Trains after the show are busy but Tokyo-manageable — far easier egress than the riverside festivals.
