第32回足立の花火
After watching the Sumida River Fireworks Festival (隅田川花火大会) on TV last night I realized the old lady in the restaurant I ate at before the Adachi Fireworks Festival was correct. She said the Adachi fireworks are better because the fireworks are centralized for better viewing. Sure enough, while Adachi has “only” 12,000 fireworks compared to Sumida’s 20,000, they all are shot from the same spot. You won’t see more than 10,000 from the Sumida River due to the mulitple firing locations.
At Adachi I sat near marker 14 which was a great seat. For an even closer seat try marker 11 or 12. However, if the wind is blowing south, you’ll be better off at marker 14, where you can see them well without having to feel them too.

This picture is amazing! I wish I could have make it last night. I’m traveling to Tokyo tonight, it’s my second time and I absolutely LOVE the city, the different activities and the culture. Can’t wait! Thanks for the glimpse of what I’m about to see!
