Tokyo Summer Splash water festival

Overview

In late July, officials announced that Tokyo’s livedoor Urban Sports Park would host the “Summer Splash” water‑themed festival each weekend from 1 to 23 August 2026, featuring water‑gun battles, a carnival, mist showers and a cooling pool, with tickets starting at ¥900 and heat‑alert safety protocols.

A week later, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government opened applications for the new “Tokyo Sports Promotion Company” designation (Sept 1 – Oct 30 2026), offering certified firms a badge, public listing and employee‑wellness benefits. The same private organiser detailed the “Arigake Summer Splash” event at the Ariake site, confirming the weekend schedule, entry fees and heat‑safety measures, linking the festival to the broader city‑wide sports‑promotion initiative.
