Secure Premium VIP Seats for Osaka’s Tenjin Matsuri 25th July,2026

We are delighted to introduce an exclusive travel plan for Osaka's "Tenjin Matsuri," one of Japan’s most iconic and grandest summer festivals, attracting visitors from all over the world.

With over 1,000 years of history, the Tenjin Matsuri is recognized as one of the three major festivals in Japan and is held annually on July 24th and 25th. The festival reaches its absolute climax on the evening of the 25th during the "Honmiya" main festival. At this time, the "Funatogyo(boat procession of the gods)"—a spectacular river procession of over 100 illuminated boats—blends with the breathtaking display of around 3,000 "Hono Hanabi" (dedication fireworks), bringing Osaka to its most vibrant and energetic moment of the year.

We have prepared "Special Reserved Seating" and "Premium Boat Viewing Seating" plans, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in this magnificent view from prime locations while completely avoiding the massive crowds. This is the ultimate premium experience, perfect as the absolute highlight of a summer trip to Japan.

①Premium Boat Viewing Seats

Enjoy the boat procession and fireworks display in a special space away from the hustle and bustle.

This is a special viewing area where you can enjoy the highlight of the Tenjin Matsuri, one of Japan's three major festivals, from the deck of a specially prepared escort boat that is normally off-limits to the public, as you watch the procession of over 100 boats and the fireworks that light up the night sky. Enjoy a special bento box meal supervised by the prestigious, long-established Kaiseki restaurant "Kitazui-en" while experiencing Osaka's summer tradition, the Tenjin Matsuri, in a private space reserved for a select few guests.

②PlanA（ふれあいの水辺会場）

The fireworks display was launched right next to the launch site, offering a truly spectacular view!

"Osaka Fureai Waterfront" is a viewing area adjacent to the fireworks launch site. We have set up both open seating on the sandy beach (special leisure sheets will be distributed on the day) and reserved seating with tables prepared in advance in each area. You can enjoy the spectacular fireworks up close.

At the venue in the floating island area of "Kema Sakuranomiya Park," we have reserved seats where you can see the boat procession up close, as well as table seats located in the front row. This year, we have also newly set up table seats where you cannot see the boat procession but can enjoy the fireworks more, so you can choose according to your preference. The dedication fireworks will be launched from the side of the venue, and you can enjoy them along with the unique scenery of the floating island.
