Let's go see one of Echigo's three great fireworks festivals: "Kashiwazaki by the Sea," "Nagaoka by the River," and "Katagai (Katagai Festival) in the Mountains"! The Katagai Festival boasts a 400-year tradition, is famous as the birthplace of the Sanjakudama (three-shaku shell) fireworks, and is a festival where the entire town is filled with fireworks, including the launch of the world's largest Yonshakudama (four-shaku shell). Held as the autumn annual festival of Asahara Shrine, the main event is the "Honou Daienkai" (Dedication Grand Fireworks), offered by local residents with gratitude and wishes. This tour allows you to enjoy fireworks, a town festival, and interaction with locals all at once.
