Odaiba Fountain Show Times: Free Tokyo Aqua Symphony

A free music fountain show runs every day at Odaiba Seaside Park. Tokyo Aqua Symphony is a must-see night spot for your Golden Week Tokyo trip.

The Odaiba Fountain Show "Tokyo Aqua Symphony" — a free daily attraction at Odaiba Seaside Park — has been getting a lot of attention. This guide covers the schedule, recommended viewing times, and how to get there in one place.

Tokyo Aqua Symphony Overview

Tokyo Aqua Symphony is a music fountain show staged at Odaiba Seaside Park. Each show runs about 10 minutes, with fountains, music, and light moving together, and runs several times a day for free. It's a great night-time stop on a Golden Week Tokyo itinerary.

📢 New program update

A new program, Canon, was added on April 27, 2026. The fountain choreography now rotates across three programs: Dragon Quest, Sakura Fubuki, and Canon.

Show Schedule & Operating Hours

Tokyo Aqua Symphony runs every hour from 11:00 to 21:00 (no 16:00 show).

The lineup differs between normal-weather days and high-wind days.

※ No show at 16:00.

※ Programs may be changed or canceled depending on weather.

📌 Recommended viewing times

The shows after 18:00, when the night lighting kicks in, are the best times to go.

The 19:00 and 20:00 shows just after sunset are especially magical — the deep blue tones over Tokyo Bay blend with the fountain lighting for the most atmospheric experience.

The Three Programs in Detail

1. Dragon Quest — the fixed program every hour

The most talked-about program at Tokyo Aqua Symphony is the Dragon Quest collab. Together with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra's powerful arrangement, it brings the grand world of Aliahan — the opening stage of "Dragon Quest III" — to life through the fountains.

Wave-shaped fountains evoke a vast continent, and splash bursts timed to the cymbals sync perfectly with the music — making you feel like you're stepping into a scene from the game.

At night, champagne gold leads, while a slime-like blue and a sky-blue/ocean-blue inspired by the sky and sea give the Dragon Quest world more dimension.

2. Sakura Fubuki

Sakura Fubuki (さくら吹雪) is an original fountain show built on traditional Japanese music. The water seems to dance to the melody of Japanese instruments — delicate yet bold.

The climax is especially striking, with the fountains shooting up high as the music builds to an overwhelming finale.

The night lighting uses a range of cherry-blossom colors to express falling petals. The pink-to-white gradient, paired with the speed of the water, creates a "cherry blossom blizzard" effect.

3. Canon — new program added April 27, 2026

The fountain show set to Pachelbel's classical Canon is the most steady and elegant program of the three. The water moves in curves matching the gentle chord progression, spreading out like calm ripples.

Light green and light blue dominate the lighting for a refreshing, calm mood. Compared to the other two programs, it's a more relaxed, healing-style show.

It's a moment to feel the inherent beauty and grace of water itself, carried along by the music.

Viewing Tips

① Best viewing spot

The observation deck at Odaiba Seaside Park is the top spot. From the Daiba Station side, walk along the West Promenade, pass the Statue of Liberty, and head down toward the seaside park.

When the deck gets crowded, head down the stairs beside it to watch from the seaside park itself — much more relaxed.

② Recommended evening shows

• 19:00 show — the blue hour right after sunset, the most atmospheric setting
• 20:00 show — full night lighting, great for pairing with the Rainbow Bridge night view
• 21:00 show — the last show of the day, calm and uncrowded
