Sumidagawa River Fireworks Festival in Asakusa #37

One of the major fireworks displays of Tokyo. The evening sky of Edo-town Asakusa is brightly colored with several tens of thousands of fireworks. It is the night sky masterpiece with old Japanese house silhouette. 2010's view from Asakusa Taito-ku is available here. 2011 was cancelled due to sad stories of the Earthquake, Tsunami and Fukushima disaster. 2012's fireworks with Skytree is at this page. Sumida side (across the Sumida River to the other side from Asakusa) is less crowded. This year 2014 also sells the special event collaboration with Tokyo Skytree. On the fireworks festival day, all has to be out from the tower by 14:00 (2pm), special entrance tickets is required for watching the event both from TEMBO DECK (350m) and TEMBO GALLERIA (450m).
