Yukata-clad spectators crowd the streets of Harajuku and Aoyama during the mesmerising Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival, a display that ranks as one of Tokyo's top summer festivals. Now in its 43rd year, this edition of the event will boast 10,000 fireworks.
The cluster of sports stadiums to the south of Sendagaya Station offer the best vantage points, with paid seating available at Meiji Jingu Stadium and Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium. Ticket prices are yet to be announced – more details here.
Alternatively, just wander around the surrounding area until you find somewhere you can see the action for free. The fireworks display lasts for one hour from 7.30pm to 8.30pm.
In case of stormy weather, the festival will be postponed to August 11.
