- Itinerary Introduction -
Nagaoka Fireworks Festival
The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is one of Japan's three major fireworks festivals, with a long history dating back to the early 20th century. In 1951, to commemorate the survivors of the Nagaoka air raid on August 1, 1945, and to pray for the post-war reconstruction of the area, a grand fireworks festival was held annually on August 2nd and 3rd, a tradition that continues to this day. The festival takes place along the Shinano River, opening with white "Hakukiku" (white chrysanthemum) fireworks to honor the spirits of those who perished in the air raid. The most famous feature of the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is the enormous "Sanshaku-dama" (three-foot-long pyrotechnica), which, after exploding high in the sky, reaches a diameter of 650 meters—currently the largest fireworks display allowed! Furthermore, the rapid and dense explosions of fireworks, reminiscent of Niagara Falls, create a breathtaking spectacle, like a magnificent bridge illuminating the night sky, leaving an unforgettable impression. Finally, there is the "Revival Prayer Fireworks Phoenix," symbolizing revival. Fireworks are launched simultaneously from six locations, blooming in the sky like a phoenix spreading its wings. Those present are so shocked that they are speechless and immersed in the magnificent space constructed by the fireworks!
*Upon arrival near the venue, a tour guide will lead you to your assigned seats.
* You are free to explore before the fireworks display begins. You can visit the nearby night market to buy local food.
*The fireworks display will be very crowded, so please keep your valuables with you at all times.
*We will arrange tables and chairs for you in Hall B or group seating at the front. Seating arrangements will be made by our company. Please be aware of this.
[Important Notes for Attending a Fireworks Display]
If this is your first time attending a Japanese fireworks festival, please refer to the following suggestions:
*The fireworks festival is held in the summer. There is free time before the festival starts. Since it is summer, it is recommended to prepare for sun protection.
*The fireworks display will be held along the riverbank and will take place in the riverside meadows. Please bring insect repellent spray.
* Although there are trash cans in the venue, the event attracts a large number of people every year, so please be sure to bring your own trash bags and cleaning supplies such as toilet paper and wet wipes.
*The fireworks display will continue into the evening. The lighting in the venue will be insufficient. Please bring flashlights or other lighting equipment just in case.
* Please wear clothing and shoes that allow for easy movement on the day of the fireworks display.
* Although the ground at the fireworks venue will be covered with plastic mats, they may not be very comfortable to sit on. You may bring your own cushion if needed.
*Please note that folding chairs, simple chairs, tripods, and other similar items are strictly prohibited from being brought into the venue.
* Umbrellas are not allowed inside the venue. In case of sudden weather changes, it is recommended to bring a lightweight raincoat.
*On the day of the fireworks display, the venue will be packed with hundreds of thousands of people. There is a high chance that network equipment will be unusable. We appreciate your understanding.
* Once everyone has assembled, the bus will depart for the hotel. Arrival time is approximately 0:30-1:30 the next day, but may be significantly delayed due to road conditions and other factors.
