– Itinerary Introduction –

• Suwa Lake Fireworks Festival

The Suwa Lake Fireworks Festival is an important annual fireworks festival in Nagano Prefecture, attracting more than 500,000 people every year to enjoy the festival. With more than 40,000 fireworks, it is also the fireworks festival with the largest number of launches in Japan! Lake Suwa, where the event is held, is the largest lake in Nagano Prefecture and is said to be one of the sources of inspiration for "Your Name". The Suwa Lake Fireworks Festival is divided into two stages. In the first stage, a total of 10 fireworks masters will compete with their own designs to show the creativity and beauty of each fireworks master! The second stage is the "Kiss of Fire" that lights up the entire night sky over the lake. The semicircular fireworks launched from the lake gradually merge with the fireworks from the "Hatsujima" launch station on the lake, and finally become a hemispherical and 2,000-meter-high aerial fireworks waterfall! The explosion sounds accompanying the fireworks echoed across the valley, which was extremely shocking!

＊Once you arrive at the venue, your guide will lead you to your designated seat.

* Before the fireworks display begins, you can move around freely and go to the nearby night market to buy local delicacies.

＊The fireworks display will be crowded, so please be sure to carry your valuables with you.

• Yokoteyama "Manten VIEW TERRACE"

Yokoteyama Ski Resort is located at an altitude of approximately 2,300 meters and is the highest ski resort in Japan. Looking down from the "Manten VIEW TERRACE" on the top of the mountain, you can not only have a panoramic view of the local Shiga Plateau, but also have the opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view of the entire Japan Alps when the weather is clear. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will be specially arranged to take Japan's longest escalator "SKYLATOR" to the mountainside to transfer to the cable car, giving you a special mountaineering experience!

• Kusatsu Hot Spring

Kusatsu Onsen is located in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. The natural outflow of hot spring water exceeds 32,300 liters per minute, ranking first in Japan. Kusatsu Onsen is one of the three best hot springs in the world, along with Arima Onsen in Hyogo and Gero Onsen in Gifu. It has been voted the best hot spring in Japan for more than 20 consecutive years. In the center of the hot spring town is the real core source of Kusatsu Onsen, called "Yubatake": visitors can view the local source through the fence, use the hot spring tank to cool down the overly hot source water, and also use it to collect special hot spring flowers. The Kusatsu Onsen Street is filled with a variety of special hot spring items and specialties for tourists to choose from, or you can go to the Netsu-no-Yu next to the "Yubatake" to watch the local "Yumomi Dance" performance! In addition, there are several public baths around Kusatsu Onsen. We especially recommend the "Three Hot Springs of Kusatsu" – Otaki-no-Yu, Goza-no-Yu, and Nishi-no-Kawara Open-Air Bath. Each has its own unique features, so please make the most of your stay in Kusatsu Onsen and enjoy them!

• Akeno Sunflower Field

From late July to late August every year, the sea of ​​sunflowers in Akeno, Yamanashi Prefecture, is in full bloom. More than 600,000 golden flowers sway in the mountains, and with the majestic backdrop of the Japanese Alps in the distance, every tourist who visits is stunned. Only in Yamanashi Prefecture, which has the longest sunshine hours in Japan, can you enjoy such magnificent summer scenery.

• Shiraito Falls

Shiraito Falls is one of Karuizawa's famous tourist spots, known for its fantastic scenery. The waterfall is about 3 meters high and 70 meters wide. Countless fine streams of water flow down from the rock wall like silk threads, just like a natural water curtain.
