The Sagamihara Hanabi Taikai is held on the banks of the Sagami River and is one of the principal fireworks celebrations in Kanagawa Prefecture outside of Yokohama. The event features several thousand shells including creative themed sections and large-scale star-mine bursts. The riverside venue is comparatively less crowded than central Tokyo events, making it a popular choice for visitors seeking a more relaxed viewing experience. Surrounding parkland provides ample space for families to set out picnic sheets and enjoy the warm summer evening.
