Miyazu Lantern Floating Fireworks Festival Tour with Amanohashidate and Ine no Funaya Exploration

A wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Sal

This was an amazing experience. The day was well planned, well run and we had some amazing experiences. The guide was attentive, enthusiastic and explained everything about the schedule so we all knew what was happening. The food was really good with a stunning river view. We cannot fault anything - a wonderful day!

Premium Plan: Sumida River Fireworks from Yakatabune Sky Deck (July 26)

Excellent Experience with VIP Sumida River Fireworks package

Reviewed by: GeoWendy

The trip exceeded my expectations. The ship anchored between the two platforms set to shoot off the fireworks. Food and drink was plentiful. I didn't expect English service, which was ok since I speak a little bit of Japanese, but one of the waiters spoke perfect English so everything was easy. Given how hot and humid it was, riding in the Yakatabune is an excellent choice for viewing the fireworks. Unlimited beverage service, a clean restroom, and air conditioned cabin made the entire trip enjoyable.

Well-managed and planned. We had no trouble securing a carpark spot and staff were extremely helpful, guiding everyone to the shuttle bus area. Will be back next year!

It was amazing!! 最高でした!!

Reviewed by: いちご

It was my first time on a traditional houseboat, and it was so much fun! The food was excellent... Those who are prone to seasickness might want to be careful!

初屋形船でしたがとっても楽しかったです
お料理も最高。。。

I made wonderful memories! 素敵な思い出が出来ました!

Reviewed by: カルミン

The weather was favorable, and it was pleasantly cool, almost cold, on the boat. We were able to take turns and go up on deck, where we enjoyed fireworks and drones nearby. I was truly impressed by how different the fireworks in Tokyo are! I would love to participate again next summer!

お天気も恵まれ船の上は涼しく寒いくらいでしたが、交代して船上にも上がれて打ち上げる近くで花火やドローン等思考を考慮されておりさすが東京の花火は違うなぁ〜と感激!又夏もあれば参加したいと思います♪

Too crowded. 詰め込みすぎ

Reviewed by: 山猿

The yakatabune was full and quite cramped. The event was lovely, and the tempura was delicious, so I had a great time.

屋形船は満員で、かなり窮屈でした。イベントは素敵でしたし、天ぷらが美味しかったので、楽しく過ごせました。

Ocean Expo Churaumi Fireworks Festival Tickets (July 5, 2025)

Fireworks evening at the Ocean Expo on Okinawa

Reviewed by: K Kirchen

Great fireworks display, together with the music really a great experience. If you were standing behind the marked seated area standing and using tripods higher than 1m was ok, inside the marked area inside the paid area anything above 1m was asked to lay down so everybody can have a great view.
Facilities on the beach (toilets and food) were plenty. The food was okay, not bad but nothing outstanding, definitely festival prices. Everything was smoothly organized except the cars leaving the parking lots. The traffic jam afterwards was INCREDIBLE. After around 40 minutes in which we moved roughly 150m we decided to turn back and used smaller roads the navigation didn’t suggest, brought us out within 10 minutes.

Conclusion: Fireworks and music were GREAT! Food was ok, bring your own if you want to be sure what you get and a reasonable price. When leaving the parking follow all traffic rules but don’t rely on navigation from phones or the car, use a map and check streets. Be prepared for mobile internet being VERY slow on the event area, the infrastructure apparently isn’t made for so many people.

awkward fireworks

Reviewed by: Vanessa

The venue was great. They did a great job organizing the seating. My goodness though, the show was horrible. There were many 30+ second periods throughout the show with no fireworks. It was so awkward. I left after 20 minutes to beat the traffic.
