Product Info

  • The Nagaoka Festival Grand Fireworks Display will be viewed from reserved seating. You can enjoy the spectacular fireworks display right up to the grand finale. Please enjoy it to your heart's content.
  • Use a parking lot close to the fireworks display venue (usually about a 10-minute walk).
    *After the fireworks display ends, traffic congestion will occur in the city due to police traffic restrictions, so it usually takes about 2 to 3 hours to leave the parking lot.
  • An early dinner will be provided at the hotel before the fireworks.

<Regarding the decision to cancel the fireworks display>

  • In the event of severe weather, the Nagaoka Fireworks Competition may cancel the fireworks display at its discretion. If a decision is made before the tour departs from Tokyo Station, your trip will be cancelled. If no decision is made before departure, the tour will depart as scheduled. Please note that no refunds will be given for tour fees after departure.

<Recommended items to bring>

  • A flashlight (because the path from the fireworks venue to the parking lot is dark)
  • Raincoat (Umbrellas are prohibited when watching fireworks)
  • Heat countermeasures [hat, drinks, easily removable clothing, sunscreen, cooling spray, etc.] (To avoid traffic congestion in the surrounding area, we plan to arrive at the fireworks venue between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM)
  • Newspaper or a plastic sheet (since the seating is on the ground with folding chairs lined up, it's convenient to put it under the chair to place your belongings on)
    *Parasols may be used until sunset. Please be considerate of other customers when using them.
    *When taking photographs, tripods cannot be used at a height higher than eye level while seated. Please be careful when using them so that everyone can enjoy the view comfortably.

Reminders

  • A minimum of 15 traveler(s) are required for the tour to depart. If the number of participants does not reach the minimum requirement, the tour will be canceled. An email regarding tour cancellation will be sent 20 day(s) before the departure date

  • This course will be viewed from seated areas (Shinano River riverbed, left bank). You will be seated on folding chairs arranged on the soil of the riverbed.

  • We will arrive at the fireworks venue relatively early, between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Since you will be waiting for a long time before the fireworks begin, please take sufficient precautions against the heat.

  • It usually takes about 10 minutes to walk from the bus parking lot to the viewing area. After the fireworks end, traffic congestion occurs in the city due to police traffic restrictions, so it typically takes 2 to 3 hours for buses to leave the parking lot. Therefore, although we plan to arrive at the accommodation around 24:10 (midnight), this may vary significantly from the initial estimate.

  • In the event of severe weather, the Nagaoka Fireworks Competition may cancel the fireworks display at its discretion. If a decision is made before the tour departs from Tokyo Station, your trip will be cancelled. If no decision is made before departure, the tour will depart as scheduled. Please note that no refunds will be given for tour fees after departure.

  • Due to the expected heavy crowds, we will prioritize fireworks viewing in our itinerary. There is a possibility that some parts of the itinerary may be changed. Also, due to safety regulations for tour buses, there may be long waits before departure from the station or hotel.

  • A fee of 1,500 yen per meal will be charged for any changes to the meal plan due to food allergies, religious reasons, etc., plus any difference in price. Please notify us at least 14 days before your departure date.
