[Summary] We'll be taking you on a 2,650km journey from Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture to Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, where we attended the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival, and then stopped off in Osaka on the way back!
This time, we will be taking you on a trip that took us from
Nagasaki to Nagaoka City in Niigata Prefecture, where we participated
in the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival, and stopped off in Osaka on the way
back, covering a total distance of 2,650 km!
Conclusion: "The Nagaoka fireworks festival was amazing! I drove to Nagaoka, and the 1,300km drive there was tiring (lol), but it was a trip that left me with great memories!"
This time, I had been wanting to see the Phoenix Fireworks at
the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival for a while, so I had been preparing for
it, and finally it was finally possible!!
▼Let me introduce it to you!
This time, we headed from Nagasaki Interchange to Nagaoka
Interchange, and met up with my mother-in-law from Fukuoka along the
way!
We head straight from Fukuoka to Osaka via the Sanyo Expressway!
We stopped at Fukuyama Parking Area along the way, and had
breakfast at Kusatsu Parking in Shiga Prefecture on the first day.
After that, we went through the Hokuriku region, entered Niigata, and arrived in Nagaoka!!
First, before checking in at our lodging, we stopped by
Riverside Chiaki and had lunch at Saizeriya, a restaurant that doesn't
exist in Nagasaki!!
Saizeriya's prices were so cheap that it was just what you'd expect from Saizeriya (lol)
After that, we stayed at a place we booked through Airbnb!
After staying overnight, we took a morning walk around Site B of the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival on the first day!

It was really great to be able to gather a lot of information about the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival venue!
Although it was not possible to stay overnight on the day, it was definitely possible to stay the night before!!
If I visit again, I recommend arriving the day before!!
Then, we had lunch in the morning on August 2nd, the day of the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival!

Nagaoka Suisan Shokudo is located inside Nagaoka Central Market and I'm really glad I visited!
For lunch, we were able to enjoy Nagaoka gourmet food at
Nagaoka Market Restaurant, where we were able to enjoy a sashimi set
meal and a tuna feast set meal, which was great!
Please watch the video for more details!

The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival was really great!
I have put together videos other than the Phoenix, but every
time there was a fireworks display that was like an ending and it was
amazing!

Phoenix is the best!!
It was a dream come true to be able to see these fireworks in person!!
It was super trendy!!
▼This is a video from when I went to Osaka↓
On the way back from the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival, we
stopped off in Osaka, where the kids had fun exploring Nihonbashi,
Shinsaibashi, experiencing the subway, eating at Shinsekai in Osaka, and
more, all of which were things we couldn't capture on video!
After that, we returned to Nagasaki from Osaka via the
Chugoku Expressway, and I was glad that we had plenty of time on the way
back!
Although we traveled a total distance of 2,650 km, it was a memorable trip!
I hope to continue taking similar trips at least once a year!
Thank you for reading to the end!
Thank you for your continued support!
