【Guaranteed Departure】2-Day Katakai Fireworks Tour: Round-trip Shinkansen, featuring the 'Katakai Matsuri Dedication Fireworks,' one of the Three Great Fireworks Festivals of Echigo, viewed from box seats.

【Katakai Festival Dedication Fireworks】

• Enjoy the fireworks at your leisure from a reserved 'Masu' box seat until the end of the festival! 
• The 'Katakai Festival,' boasting a 400-year tradition, is held every September in Katakai Town, known as the birthplace of the 'Sanshakudama' (three-foot shell). It is an enthusiastic festival where the entire town is filled with fireworks, including the launch of the 'Yonshakudama' (four-foot shell), which reaches a diameter of approximately 800 meters. Because the area behind the launch site is a small hill that acts like a folding screen, you can enjoy the powerful, booming sounds of the fireworks as they echo off the terrain.
• It is one of the 'Echigo Three Great Fireworks' festivals. It is said that Kashiwazaki is for the sea, Nagaoka is for the river, and Katakai is for the mountains.
  
• Enjoy a visit to Yahiko Shrine, the Ichinomiya of Echigo, shopping and lunch on your own in Teradomari, and tasting and shopping at Asahi Shuzo.
• Enjoy a dinner of 'Uonuma Koshihikari rice and local Japanese cuisine' in Uonuma.
