Sumida River Fireworks Festival, Tokyo
Famous for Japan's largest fireworks display, are held on the final Saturday of July. They are held between the Umayabashi Bridge and the Komagatabashi Bridge and between the Kototoibashi Bridge and the Sakurabashi Bridge over the Sumida River, from 7:10 to 8:30 p.m. Setting off nearly 20,000 explosions, with top firework making companies competing against one another, is the biggest and most spectacular in Tokyo.
The narrowness of the Sumida River restricts the size, especially between high buildings, of fireworks and therefore the pyrotechnicians must take that fact into consideration and use appropriately sized fireworks, smaller but still thrilling and beautiful in the eyes of onlookers.
