[Katagai Festival Dedication Fireworks]

  • You can enjoy watching the fireworks from the reserved seating area ("Masu-seki") until the end of the festival!
  • The Katagai Festival, boasting a 400-year tradition, is held every September in Katagai town, known as the birthplace of the three-foot diameter firework. It's an exciting festival where the entire town is immersed in fireworks, including the launch of four-foot diameter fireworks that reach approximately 800 meters in diameter. Behind the fireworks launch site is a small hill that acts like a folding screen, causing the sound to reflect and create a spectacular explosion.
  • It is one of the "Three Great Fireworks Festivals of Echigo." It is said to be the third best, along with Kashiwazaki by the sea and Nagaoka by the river, and Katagai by the mountains.
  • Visit Yahiko Shrine, the Ichinomiya (first-ranked shrine) of Echigo Province, enjoy shopping and lunch at Teradomari, and enjoy sake tasting and shopping at Asahi Shuzo.
  • Enjoy a Japanese dinner in Uonuma featuring Uonuma-grown Koshihikari rice and local cuisine.

≪Notes≫

  • It will take about 20-30 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the fireworks display venue, so please wear comfortable shoes. We anticipate crowds, so we will be arriving at the venue early, around 17:30.
  • You will be watching from a box seat ("masu-seki"). These box seats are made up of plywood.
  • You are welcome to bring your own cushions, but please refrain from using folding chairs, tripods, or umbrellas.
  • In the event of heavy rain or a typhoon, the fireworks display is scheduled to be canceled if wind speeds exceed 10 m/s or if a weather warning is issued.
  • If the fireworks display is canceled after your departure, we will not refund your travel expenses or reserved seat fees.
  • Depending on the year, the lingering summer heat can be intense, so please take precautions against the heat. Also, temperatures drop at night, so please bring a jacket.
