Held simultaneously with the Itabashi Fireworks Festival across the Arakawa River, the Toda Hanabi Taikai offers a Saitama-side perspective on one of the Kanto region's premier competitive fireworks events. Expert pyrotechnic teams vie for top honours with elaborately designed shell sequences, judged by a formal panel. The Saitama riverbank provides slightly less crowded viewing than the Tokyo side, making it a savvy choice for visitors seeking great sightlines.
