After meeting your tour conductor, you’ll board a comfortable bus and head to Nagaoka, a city renowned for hosting one of Japan’s largest and most spectacular fireworks festivals. The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is a beloved summer tradition, attracting visitors from across the country to witness a breathtaking display of over 10,000 fireworks choreographed with music and meaning.
You’ll arrive at the site around 16:30 and walk approximately 30 to 40 minutes from the parking area to your designated viewing area. The tour includes box seating (marked off sections of ground with a blue tarp), which provides an immersive experience with an up-close view of the colorful spectacle above.
While waiting for the fireworks to begin around 19:20, you can soak in the festive atmosphere as the crowd gathers in anticipation. Be sure to bring sun protection like a hat or sun umbrella, as there are no shaded areas.

A towel and water bottle are also helpful to stay cool while you wait, and a flashlight will come in handy for navigating dimly lit areas near the restrooms or parking.
Since seating is directly on the ground, a cushion or towel will make your experience more comfortable. Please note that folding chairs and tripods are not allowed. In case of unexpected weather, the show will proceed in the rain, but you’ll need a raincoat or poncho as umbrellas are prohibited.
In case of rain, the event will generally go ahead as planned, but if the cancellation decision is made before the tour departs, you will be notified by mail and then by phone and the tour will be canceled with a full refund. If the decision is made on the day of the event after departure, you will receive a refund for the seating portion, and we will either arrange an alternative sightseeing location or proceed directly to the hotel.
After the fireworks, you will arrive to the hotel after midnight.
