The Tamagawa Hanabi Taikai is jointly hosted by Setagaya Ward (Tokyo) and Kawasaki City (Kanagawa), making it a uniquely cross-prefectural celebration. Around 6,000 fireworks are launched from the wide, sandy riverbed, visible from both the Tokyo and Kanagawa banks. The event is particularly popular with local families and couples, with grassy embankments offering relaxed picnic-style viewing.
