📌 Important Reminder for Return Transportation: The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is one of Japan’s three largest fireworks festivals, attracting over a million visitors annually. JR Joetsu Shinkansen tickets from Nagaoka to major cities like Tokyo are extremely popular! 🔸 It is strongly recommended that you book reserved seat tickets at least 1 month in advance (preferably 6–8 weeks), especially for trains on the evenings of August 2nd and 3rd. 🔸 If tickets are not purchased in advance, you may very likely face situations with no seats or even no tickets, leading to being stranded in Nagaoka.
