・Nagaoka Fireworks Festival
The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is one of the three major fireworks festivals in Japan. The local fireworks festival has a long history and has been held since the early 20th century. Until 1951, a grand fireworks display was held every year on August 2nd and 3rd to commemorate the victims of the Nagaoka air raid on August 1st, 1945 and to pray for the local reconstruction after the war. It continues to this day. The fireworks display was held on the banks of the Shinano River, opening with white "white chrysanthemum" fireworks to comfort the souls of those who died in the air raid. The most famous fireworks display at the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is the gigantic "Sanshakudama", which has a diameter of 650 meters after exploding in the sky. It is the largest fireworks that can be made under current regulations! In addition, the sea of fireworks that exploded as fast and densely as Niagara Falls was so impressive that it was like hanging a magnificent bridge in the sky, lighting up the bright night sky, which was even more unforgettable. The last one is the "Reconstruction Prayer Fireworks Phoenix" which symbolizes revival. Fireworks are launched from 6 locations at the same time and bloom in the air at the same time, like a phoenix spreading its wings. People at the scene will be shocked beyond words and immersed in the magnificent space created by the fireworks!
＊Once you arrive at the venue, your guide will lead you to your designated seat.
* Before the fireworks display begins, you can move around freely and go to the nearby night market to buy local delicacies.
＊The fireworks display will be crowded, so please be sure to keep your valuables with you.

【Notes on attending fireworks displays】
If you are attending a fireworks display in Japan for the first time, please refer to the following suggestions:
＊The fireworks display is held in the summer, and there is free time before the opening. Since it is summer, it is recommended to prepare for sun protection.
＊The fireworks display will be held on the riverside and on the grassy area, so please prepare insect repellent spray.
* Although there are trash cans at the venue, the event is very crowded every year, so please be sure to bring your own trash bags, toilet paper, wet wipes and other cleaning supplies.
＊The fireworks display will continue until the evening, so please prepare relevant lighting equipment just in case.
＊Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes on the day of the fireworks display.
＊On the day of the fireworks display, there will be hundreds of thousands of people flocking to the venue, so there is a high possibility that network-related equipment will not be available. Please understand.
＊Once the group is assembled, the bus will depart for your hotel. Arrival time is approximately 0:30-1:30 the next day.
・"God's Furusato" Kamikochi
Kamikochi is located in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. Although it is located deep in the mountains, it is surrounded by mountains such as Yakedake and Hotaka Mountain Range. In addition, the Azusa River runs through it, forming a unique natural landscape in the area. In summer, Kamikochi is a famous summer resort in the hearts of the Japanese. Not only does it have a pleasant climate, but the mountain scenery along the way is also amazing. The most famous of these is the "Taisho Pond - Kappa Bridge - Myojin Bridge" hiking route. The "Taisho Pond - Kappa Bridge" route is recommended for beginners, while those with considerable hiking experience are recommended to go deeper into the "Kappa Bridge - Myojin Bridge" section. After arriving at Myojin Pond, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the lake scenery that seems like a fairyland!
※When choosing a route, please consider your own ability and the time required for the return trip to avoid being late or getting injured.
・Taisho Pond
It originated from the eruption of Mount Yake in 1915, which blocked part of the Azusagawa River and changed the local topography. From the shore of Taisho Pond, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Hotaka Mountain Range in the distance reflected on the water surface, making you feel like you have entered a fantasy world.
・Kappa Bridge
Kappa Bridge is the most representative building in Kamikochi. It is built with wood from both sides of the Azusa River. As the weather changes, you can enjoy different views from the bridge. In the novel "Kappa" by the famous writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Kappa Bridge and Taisho Pond were mentioned in particular. Because of this, Kappa Bridge became famous and became a representative attraction of Kamikochi.
