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.

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♪

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

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.

Ryukyu Fire Festival 2024 琉球海炎祭2024

Reviewed by: 風太

It was my first time participating.
I used the bus to avoid worrying about parking.
There was a staff member on site who was kind and helpful,
and we departed on time, allowing us to enter the venue as scheduled.

I was overwhelmed by the crowd, but there were guides everywhere, so I reached my designated seat without any anxiety, and the long-awaited grand fireworks display was stunning.
It was wonderful.
I am very satisfied.

初めての参加でした
駐車場の心配を避けるためにバスを利用しました
現場には担当者もいて、親切に対応してくれて、
時間通りの出発で、予定通りに会場に入れました

人の多さに圧倒でしたが、案内人がそこかしこにいて不安なく指定席にたどり着き、待望の大花火に圧巻でした
素晴らしかった

満足です

An invaluable experience かけがえのない体験

Reviewed by: ゴーギャン

The fireworks display, in collaboration with the music, was spectacular. I want to see it again.
The shuttle bus arrived at the venue more than two hours early, which made the waiting time long and difficult. I had a seat (A1), but it would have been fine without one. The departure location for the shuttle bus on the way back was dark, making it hard to find.

楽曲とコラボした花火打ち上げは見事でした。また見に行きたいです。
シャトルバスは会場に2時間以上前に着き待ち時間が長かったのが辛かった。椅子席(A1)でしたが席無しでも良かったです。帰りのシャトルバス発車場所が暗くなっていたので分かり難かった。
