The restaurant's design and food make it feel like the origin of Japan's hamburger steak restaurants. Of course, the hamburger steak is delicious, but the interior decor and the building's appearance are also really nice.

Nagaoka Festival Fireworks Display
It is one of the three major fireworks festivals in Japan and a colorful summer tradition in Niigata.
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.

Chinese Nouvelle Cuisine Ten-An
This Chinese restaurant has been a local favorite for more than 38 years. Building on the traditions of China’s four major regional cuisines-Beijing, Cantonese, Shanghai, and Sichuan-it serves innovative dishes inspired by ideas that go beyond conventional boundaries while preserving its signature flavors and continuing to take on new challenges. In 2024, the restaurant relocated and reopened with a fresh new look, adding a banquet hall that accommodates 70 seated guests or approximately 120 guests for a standing reception.
This restaurant serves authentic Chinese cuisine with creative touches in a spacious, relaxing setting. Everything is excellent—the ingredients, cooking methods, creativity, flavors, and atmosphere—and I always leave very satisfied. The Chinese pastries sold at the entrance are also high quality, and I always end up buying mooncakes.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter
This entirely new walk-through attraction lets you experience how the "Harry Potter" and "Fantastic Beasts" films were made. It is the first of its kind in Asia and the largest indoor Harry Potter attraction in the world.
This was a place where you could fully immerse yourself in the world of Harry Potter.
You can comfortably follow along and see scenes and settings from the movies, as well as behind-the-scenes details about the production. Since it’s mostly indoors, you can enjoy it anytime without worrying about the season.When you enter, there’s a museum shop and a cafe. The museum shop has all kinds of Harry Potter-related items, so I think it’s a good idea to first look for things to enjoy during your visit, then stop by again at the end for souvenirs or keepsakes.
Once the tour starts, you follow the staff at first, but after that you’re free to explore on your own. If you take your time, it takes about 3–4 hours. There are also places along the way where you can eat or try Butterbeer, so you could easily spend a relaxing full day there. There was one smoking area inside.
