Chichibu Night Festival
Lantern floats hauled up a steep slope at night with fireworks overhead, in December, in the cold.
56 days until the next window
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Tokyo for December 2 to 3, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Paid seats at the slope sell out in October; free viewing is along the route in town from the afternoon.
- December nights in Chichibu are near freezing; the amazake and hot sake stalls are not optional.
- From Tokyo, the Seibu Red Arrow limited express from Ikebukuro reaches Seibu-Chichibu in about 80 minutes; extra late trains run on festival night.
