About necessary/required procedures for fireworks consumption (fireworks, etc.)

Last Updated March 4, 2024

To those who are considering fireworks displays in Yokohama

When launching a large number of fireworks

Based on the Explosives Control Law, an application using the "Explosives Consumption Permit Application Form" is required.
Application window is "Fire Bureau Prevention Department Security Section" (2-20 Kawabecho, Hodogaya-ku, Fire Department Headquarters Government Building).

When launching a small amount of fire, etc.

Based on the Yokohama City Fire Prevention Ordinance, a report by "Smoke Consumption registration form" is required.
The notification window is a "fire department / fire department branch office" that has jurisdiction over the place where smoke is used.

If you are not sure whether to submit the "Explosives Consumption Permit Application Form" or "Smoke Consumption registration form" ...

We have created a "permission application / notification flow for launching fireworks" to have you confirm which one to submit.
If you are planning a fireworks display, please use this flow.

※Due to the revision of the ministerial ordinance on April 5, 2021, the quantity that can be consumed without permission has been partially revised.

Precautions for holding fireworks, etc.

In holding fireworks festivals, etc., understanding from local residents is indispensable. To prevent trouble, please cooperate with the relevant Neighborhood Associations and Neighborhood Association to provide necessary publicity.
