Basic Info

May–September Schedule

※ Sessions for October 2026 and later are scheduled to be announced on the official website around August.

※ The schedule and launch locations are subject to change, so we recommend checking the official website before visiting.

Recommended Sessions

① Saturday, June 13｜Shinko Pier

The June 13 session is a collaboration between the film "Detective Conan: The Fallen Angel on the Highway (ハイウェイの堕天使)" and the City of Yokohama.

Conan's signature image colors and bow-tie and glasses-shaped fireworks are planned, making this the top pick for anyone who wants to see the collaboration session.

② Tuesday, July 7｜Shinko Pier

July 7 is a weekday session, and also the Star Jewelry Boutiques special sponsorship session.

It's a good recommendation for those hoping for a relatively calm viewing experience compared to the weekend. That said, the actual level of crowding can vary depending on the weather that day and nearby events.

③ Sunday, September 20｜O-sanbashi

September 20 is the last O-sanbashi session among the May–September announced dates.

Around O-sanbashi, you can watch the fireworks together with the Minato Mirai night view, which makes it easy to pair with an autumn Yokohama night-view course.

Best Viewing Spots｜O-sanbashi vs Shinko Pier

For Yokohama Night Flowers 2026, the launch location switches between O-sanbashi (大さん橋) and Shinko Pier (新港ふ頭) depending on the session.

So it’s best to check your visit date first, then choose a viewing spot close to the launch location for that session.

If you want to watch up close, the areas around O-sanbashi and Shinko Pier are good, and if you want to take your time watching together with the Minato Mirai night view, we recommend the areas around Yamashita Park, Rinko Park, and Yokohama Hammerhead.

If you’re traveling with family or with parents, a place that’s spacious and easy to leave from is more comfortable than a spot with a complicated route.

1️⃣ Shinko Pier Session Viewing Spots｜6/13 · 7/4 · 7/7 · 7/18 · 8/9 · 9/5

The Shinko Pier sessions are easy to combine with the Red Brick Warehouse, Yokohama Hammerhead, Cosmo World, and Rinko Park.

In particular, if you want to watch together with the Minato Mirai night view, it’s efficient to plan your route around the spots near Shinko Pier.

2️⃣ O-sanbashi Session Viewing Spots｜5/16 · 5/30 · 9/20 (3 sessions)

The O-sanbashi sessions are good to watch together with the O-sanbashi rooftop, Yamashita Park, and Yokohama Marine Tower.

If you want to see the fireworks against the Minato Mirai skyline, the route around O-sanbashi is the most natural.

✅ How to Choose Your Viewing Spot

1. If you want to see the fireworks up close

For the Shinko Pier sessions, the areas around Yokohama Hammerhead and the Red Brick Warehouse are good, and for the O-sanbashi sessions, the area around the O-sanbashi rooftop is good.

However, the closer you are to the launch location, the more crowded it can be and the harder it can be to move around.

2. If you're traveling with family

A spacious place like Yamashita Park or Rinko Park is more comfortable.

Since it's a short 5-minute fireworks show, it's a good idea to also consider how easy it is to get to a subway station after the show.

3. If you want to take photos

For the Shinko Pier sessions, the areas around the Red Brick Warehouse and Cosmo World are good, and for the O-sanbashi sessions, the area around the O-sanbashi rooftop or Yamashita Park is good.

That said, the actual view can vary depending on wind direction, crowds, and on-site control situations.

📌 Cautions When Choosing a Viewing Spot

Yokohama Night Flowers is a short fireworks show that runs about 5 minutes, but the area around the launch location can be crowded depending on the session.

According to official guidance, burnt fireworks debris can fall depending on the wind direction, so rather than a position too close to the launch point, it can be a good idea to choose a spot a little farther away.

Also, since the roads and parking lots around the venue are expected to be congested, we recommend using public transportation rather than driving.

Show Times · Special Effects by Session

Yokohama Night Flowers 2026 has different start times for each session, matching the sunset time.

In 2026, the May and September sessions run 19:00–19:05, and the June–August sessions run 19:30–19:35.

The show is short at about 5 minutes, but it's a short-duration fireworks show with about 150 shots fired intensively per session.

So rather than traveling just to see the fireworks, it's more efficient to combine your visit with the Minato Mirai night view, the Red Brick Warehouse, Chinatown, and Cosmo World.

✅ June 13 Session｜Detective Conan Collaboration Special Effects

The Saturday, June 13 Shinko Pier session is held as a collaboration between the film “Detective Conan: The Fallen Angel on the Highway (ハイウェイの堕天使)” and the City of Yokohama.

According to official guidance, the first half is planned to feature Conan’s image colors along with bow-tie and glasses-shaped fireworks.

The second half is planned to include flower and green-themed fireworks effects imagining GREEN×EXPO 2027.

✅ Whether It’s Held in Bad Weather

Yokohama Night Flowers may be canceled in bad weather, with no postponement or makeup date.

On the day of your visit, it’s a good idea to check whether the event is being held on the official website before you set out.

Especially on days with strong winds or a rain forecast, you may only find out about a cancellation after arriving on-site, so if you’re traveling from Tokyo as a day trip, we recommend checking once before departure and once more before arriving in Yokohama.

How to Get to Yokohama from Tokyo

When heading to Yokohama Night Flowers from Tokyo, it’s convenient to travel using JR Yokohama Station or the stations along the Minatomirai Line as your base.

Since the fireworks themselves are short at about 5 minutes, if you’re visiting from Tokyo on a day trip, it’s efficient to combine your visit with the Minato Mirai night view, Chinatown, the Red Brick Warehouse, and Cosmo World.

✅ Getting to Yokohama Station from Major Tokyo Areas

※ Travel times can vary depending on the train type, transfers, and time of day.

※ After arriving at Yokohama Station, you can reach the venue by combining the Minatomirai Line, city subway, buses, and walking.

✅ How Should You Combine Sightseeing in Yokohama City?

Yokohama Night Flowers is a short fireworks show that runs about 5 minutes.

So rather than just watching the fireworks and heading back, it’s good to combine your visit with Chinatown, Yamashita Park, O-sanbashi, the Red Brick Warehouse, Cosmo World, and the Minato Mirai night view.

✅ Yokohama Transit Pass｜Minato Burari Ticket

If you plan to move between several places within Yokohama city, you can consider the Minato Burari Ticket or the Minato Burari Ticket Wide.

This ticket is a one-day pass that lets you use the Yokohama city buses, city subway, and the Akaikutsu sightseeing loop bus, among others, within the designated zone for a full day.

Especially if you’re moving between several places in one day around Chinatown, Yamashita Park, O-sanbashi, the Red Brick Warehouse, and Minato Mirai, it’s a good idea to calculate your transit costs before deciding.

That said, if you make few trips and walk a lot, a regular transit card may be more convenient.

✅ Parking Information

We don’t recommend traveling by car when viewing Yokohama Night Flowers.

The roads and parking lots around the venue can be congested depending on the session, and crowds can gather in a short time after the fireworks end.

If you’re visiting from Tokyo, the most convenient approach is to take the train to Yokohama Station or the Minato Mirai area, then combine walking, buses, and the Minatomirai Line locally.
