The city of Ichikawa has officially confirmed that the annual summer fireworks festival, originally threatened by Typhoon No. 9, will indeed take place in 2025. This announcement, made on the festival’s official website, brings joy to many residents who eagerly anticipate this beloved event.
Preparations are well underway, with Ichikawa Station providing guides to the venue. Additionally, local shops such as Ozeki are promoting special sales in connection with the fireworks festival, contributing to the festive atmosphere.
However, there are some important changes to note. Shapo Ichikawa will alter its operating hours, closing at 7 PM. Patrons should plan accordingly. Furthermore, nearby parking facilities will be inaccessible from 5 PM to 10 PM on August 2nd, which is the day of the event. The pedestrian deck will also be closed off during this time, so attendees are advised to consider alternate routes.
It is worth mentioning that mobile phone reception near the venue may be limited, making it advisable to establish a designated meeting point with family members ahead of time.
On a positive note, paid seating along the riverside is already set up, and all that remains is to enjoy the spectacular fireworks display. Community members are encouraged to adhere to safety and courtesy guidelines to ensure a memorable experience for everyone at the festival.
This year’s event promises to be a wonderful opportunity to come together and celebrate, despite the earlier concerns brought by the typhoon.
