- Day 1 Itinerary Introduction -

The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is one of Japan's three major fireworks festivals with a long history dating back to the first half of the 20th century. It was first held in 1951 to commemorate victims of the Nagaoka Air Raid that occurred on August 1, 1945, and as a prayer for the post-war recovery of the local area. Since then, the grand fireworks festival has been held annually on August 2nd and 3rd, continuing to this day. The festival takes place along the Shinano River, starting with white "Shiragiku" fireworks to console the souls lost in the air raid. The most famous aspect of the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is the colossal "Sanjakudama" fireworks, which explode to a diameter of up to 650 meters in the sky, making them the largest fireworks legally allowed. Additionally, the fireworks display resembles the rapid and dense bursts of Niagara Falls, displaying unmatched grandeur and illuminating the night sky like a magnificent bridge, creating an unforgettable experience. Finally, the symbolic "Phoenix of Revival" fireworks, launched simultaneously from six locations, bloom in the sky like a phoenix spreading its wings. Spectators are left speechless and captivated by the spectacular display created by the fireworks, immersing themselves in the magnificent atmosphere.
