Matsudo Fireworks Festival In 2023
Set on the banks of the Edogawa River and at the Furu-gasaki Riverside Sports Plaza in Matsudo City, the Matsudo Fireworks Festival 2023 promises to be an unmissable event. Last year’s festival, held in October, featured an invitation-only display of 4,000 fireworks. However, this year’s festival is taking it up several notches.
What to Expect?
As Chiba’s most extensive fireworks event, the Matsudo Fireworks Festival 2023 is set to launch a staggering 25,000 fireworks, each adding its unique sparkle to the night sky. But the pyrotechnic display isn’t all that’s on offer. The event will also feature a bustling food stall village and an array of stage events for an immersive and entertaining experience.
The sale of approximately 15,000 paid viewing seats will start in mid-June. More details about the festival will be announced in due course, so make sure to stay tuned for updates.
A Quick Note On The Japan Rail Pass Price Hike
The price of the wonderful Japan Rail Pass is going up a massive 62% in October but there’s still time to lock in the old rates if you’re quick. Klook still offers the old prices so if you buy before September 30th you can travel with the old prices until December 28th, 2023.
