Itabashi Ward in Tokyo was established in 1932 through the merger of several cities and counties. The ward is surrounded by abundant nature, including the Arakawa River and Shakujii River, making it a great place to live. There's a shopping street near the station, making it a convenient area for shopping. Itabashi's main local products are Itabashi Monaka and Daibutsu Sable. The Itabashi Fireworks Festival, held every year on August 3rd, sees 11,000 fireworks launched from the opposite bank. It's one of Tokyo's largest fireworks festivals, so those who want to get up close and personal can purchase a reserved seat for a spectacular view. Additionally, due to the abundance of nature, the ward offers a special nighttime firefly viewing event, during which you can watch the dancing Heike fireflies for a limited time.
