Every year, Chofu celebrates its connection to the movie industry in an explosive way. As several film scenes have been shot on the banks of the Tamagawa river, and Chofu is home to multiple studios and film-related companies, the festival is dubbed 'City of Cinema: Chofu Autumn Fireworks'. It sees around 10,000 rockets launched over the river, choreographed to popular film scores for an entire hour from 6.30pm.
Tickets for reserved seating at the Fuda and Keio Tamagawa locations have sold out. But don’t worry, there is an area designated for free, non-reserved seating. Just make sure to arrive a few hours early since space is limited.
