Nagaoka Fireworks Festival Day Tour in Niigata, Japan | One of Japan's Top Three Fireworks Festivals - Guaranteed Entry & Includes Summer Yukata (Departing from Tokyo)

Not all fireworks are worth a special trip, but the Nagaoka Fireworks are the kind—the kind you will remember for a lifetime after seeing them.

The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is hailed as one of the 'Three Great Fireworks Festivals in Japan.' It is a spectacular event that every traveler must see at least once in their life. Held for only two days each year, it attracts over a million spectators, with a scale, impact, and artistry that are truly top-tier in Japan.

This tour departs from Tokyo, taking you directly to Nagaoka, Niigata, to experience the following in person:

•  Super-sized fireworks blooming in the night sky

•  The ultra-long 'Phoenix Fireworks' stretching across the river

•  The 'Sanshakudama' with a diameter of over 600 meters

The entire performance lasts about 2 hours with almost no dull moments, as wave after wave of fireworks illuminate the night sky to the fullest. Special arrangements: Viewing seats included (no need to scramble for tickets yourself), round-trip bus transfers to save you from complex transportation, and a one-day round trip for an easy way to participate in Japan's top fireworks festival. Whether you are a couple, friends, or a photography enthusiast, this is an absolutely worthwhile Japanese summer experience.

To ensure you have a comfortable time at the fireworks festival, we recommend bringing the following items ①～⑦. Please check carefully.

Additionally, it takes about 30 to 90 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the viewing area (depending on crowd levels), so please be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.

① Cushion: The official site only provides blue tarps. We recommend bringing your own cushion for added comfort. (Chairs are prohibited. Please make sure not to go to areas outside the designated viewing seats.)

② Poncho and waterproof shoes: Please prepare a poncho in case of sudden rain. A compact, full-body poncho is perfect for watching fireworks. The venue can get muddy on rainy days, so waterproof shoes or boots are recommended.

③ Cold protection and sun protection: The venue is outdoors with no roof. Please bring a hat, sunscreen, and drinks to prevent sunburn and heatstroke.

As it is a summer night, please bring your own mosquito and insect repellent in advance. Also, the night temperature may drop to around 20°C, so we recommend bringing a light cardigan or a thin jacket.

④ Flashlight: Visibility will be poor after sunset, so it is better to bring a light source. Some portable toilets may not have lighting.

⑤ Tissues and wet wipes: Some portable toilets may not have toilet paper, so it is safer to bring your own.

⑥ Plastic bag for shoes: In the viewing area, you may need to take off your shoes and sit on the blue tarp.

Please note: Umbrellas are prohibited in the viewing area. When using a camera tripod or selfie stick, please keep it at a height that does not obstruct the view of others (no higher than eye level while sitting). Standing to take photos is prohibited.

⑦ Plenty of drinking water and snacks: The queues for food stalls inside the venue are very long, so it is recommended to buy them in advance at the highway service area where you stop.
