📌 Check before you buy
- You can choose to receive general tickets by post or print them at a convenience store; if you choose post, a delivery fee of 990 yen per application is added. System, ticketing and payment fees are also extra, so what you actually pay can be higher than the seat price.
- Tickets cannot be cancelled or refunded for the buyer's own reasons. Refunds are made only if the organizers cancel the event before the fireworks start, and only for the ticket price itself; fees are not refunded.
- There is no official resale either. Tickets for Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival 2026 are designated performance tickets, so selling them on for profit is prohibited. Tickets bought through resale may be refused entry.
- The official information does not say whether tickets can be shipped overseas. If it is hard for you to receive them at an address in Japan, check on the purchase screen whether you can choose convenience-store printing.
If your schedule involves a lot of travel around Tokyo, it is worth checking the difference between the subway pass and the JR Tokunai Pass in advance.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q. Can I watch Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival nearby without a ticket?
A. We don't recommend it. Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival 2026 is fully ticketed, and stopping to watch from sidewalks or roadsides is also prohibited. Plan around the general-ticket venues instead of looking for a free viewing spot. That is the safer choice.
Q. Can overseas travelers buy general tickets?
A. General tickets are sold first-come, first-served on the Ticket Pia website. To buy, though, you need to sign up as a Ticket Pia member and register an address, and you choose between receiving them by post or printing them at a convenience store. The official information does not say whether overseas shipping is possible. If it is hard for you to receive them at an address in Japan, check on the purchase screen whether you can choose convenience-store printing.
Q. What seats should four of us look at?
A. For four people watching together, look first at the lawn-seat venues, where the limit is 4 tickets per order. Most chair seats are limited to 2 tickets per order, so four people watching together may need to split the order.
Q. Can I go straight to the venue with my suitcase?
A. We don't recommend it. There is no baggage storage at the venues, and large bags that do not fit in the one-person viewing space are hard to bring in. If you have a suitcase, leave it in a station coin locker or at your accommodation before heading over.
