Both the fireworks and the event organization itself are fantastic.
The fireworks from the viewing seats are truly impressive, and the event is run so well that you can enjoy them in relative comfort.
There are a lot of spectators, but I think going by Shinkansen or train is very smooth and convenient.
Between Nagaoka Station and the viewing area, there are plenty of places to buy food and drinks, including shops, food stalls, and local supermarkets. It’s fun to walk while imagining how you’ll spend the evening watching the fireworks.
The viewing areas are divided into many large sections, but there are plenty of signs, guidance, and staff directing people, so even if you get a little lost, you’ll definitely make it to your seat. There are many people, but they’ve put a lot of thought into keeping everyone moving smoothly, so there is less confusion and heavy crowding than you might expect.
