Fireworks and summer are synonymous in Japan! Discover five of the Japanese capital's top fireworks if you visit the capital in July and August!

Organized for the first time in 1733, it is also the oldest in Japan!

Fired initially to bring good luck to the city and ward off plagues that could attack Edo (former name of Tokyo), the Sumida fireworks display has gradually lost popularity.

It was only in the 1970s that it regained its luster before becoming the annual tradition we know today.

Baptized this year 2018 “ Edomode,” the fire takes up a trendy art of the Edo period: kabuki!

Indeed, the evening is organized in collaboration with a Kabuki troupe from Tokyo who will perform just after the final bouquet. A great way to prolong the magic of this beautiful summer evening!
