Ichikawa CitizensNoryo Fireworks Festival

This fireworks display featuring an elaborate program based on eight themes is a perennial favorite and an Ichikawa summer tradition. The festival opens with a powerful barrage of 1,000 fireworks launched in a five-second span, filling the night sky with spectacular blooms. It's followed by a huge variety of about 14,000 fireworks, including chrysanthemums, peonies, elaborate starmines, and special effect fireworks, all beautifully splashing the night sky. The finale is a must-see, when a dazzling shower of light rains down, creating a sensational ending. If you want to feel the power of the fireworks up-close, watch from the Ichikawa grounds, but if you want to enjoy the fireworks in a more laid-back environment, we recommend the Gyotoku venue a little further away from the launch site.
