Sumida River Fireworks Festival
The Sumida River Fireworks Festival, one of the largest in Japan, is held annually on the last Saturday of July. Its history dates back to the Edo period when the eighth shogun, Yoshimune, held a water god festival and launched fireworks to console the spirits of those who died during a great famine and to pray for the end of the epidemic.
