– First day itinerary –

・One of Japan's three major fireworks displays – Nagaoka Fireworks Festival

The local fireworks display has a long history, having been held since the early 20th century. Until 1951, a grand fireworks display was held every year on August 2nd and 3rd to commemorate the victims of the Nagaoka air raid on August 1st, 1945 and to pray for the local reconstruction after the war. It continues to this day. The fireworks display was held on the banks of the Shinano River, opening with white "white chrysanthemum" fireworks to comfort the souls of those who died in the air raid. The most famous fireworks display at the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is the gigantic "Sanshakudama", which has a diameter of 650 meters after exploding in the sky. It is the largest fireworks that can be made under current regulations! In addition, the sea of ​​fireworks that exploded as fast and densely as Niagara Falls was so impressive that it was like hanging a magnificent bridge in the sky, lighting up the bright night sky, which was even more unforgettable. The last one is the "Reconstruction Prayer Fireworks Phoenix" which symbolizes revival. Fireworks are launched from 6 locations at the same time and bloom in the air at the same time, like a phoenix spreading its wings. People at the scene will be shocked beyond words and immersed in the magnificent space created by the fireworks!

*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.

*For your seat arrangement in venue B, our company will allocate arena seats or riverside chair seats, so please be aware that it cannot be specified.

• Things to note when attending fireworks displays

If you are attending a fireworks display in Japan for the first time, please refer to the following suggestions:

1. The fireworks display is held in the summer, and there is free time before the opening. Since it is summer, it is recommended to prepare for sun protection.

2. The fireworks display will be held on the riverside and on the grassy area. Please prepare insect repellent spray.

3. Although there are trash cans at the venue, the event attracts a large number of people every year. Please be sure to bring your own trash bags, toilet paper, wet wipes and other cleaning supplies.

4. The fireworks display will last until the evening, so please prepare relevant lighting equipment just in case.

5. Please wear clothing and shoes that are comfortable to move around in on the day of the fireworks display.

6. On the day of the fireworks display, there will be hundreds of thousands of people flocking to the venue, and there is a high possibility that network-related equipment will not be available. Thank you for your understanding.

7. There will be a lot of people and traffic on the day of the fireworks display. Please note that the entrance and exit will be subject to the regulations of the event. If the traffic is seriously congested, you may arrive after the event has started. Please understand.

• Once the group is assembled, the bus will depart for your hotel. The expected arrival time is approximately 0:30 the next day. Depending on the situation of the conference on the day, if there is severe congestion, you may arrive at the hotel later. Please understand.

・Tamahara Lavender Garden

Tamara Lavender Garden, located on a high mountain in Gunma Prefecture, has the largest lavender field in Kanto, with up to 50,000 lavender plants blooming in the garden. Enjoying the summer breeze on a plateau about 1,300 meters above sea level and feeling the scent of lavender in the breeze is definitely the best way to escape the summer heat!

・Kiyojin Gorge Tunnel

The Kiyotsukyo Gorge is known as one of the "Three Great Gorges in Japan" and is famous for its steep cliffs. As the seasons change, the canyon takes on a different look. In recent years, it has become a popular check-in spot due to the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale. There are several art installations of different styles in the 750-meter-long tunnel, especially the decoration at the deepest part of the tunnel, which is embellished with pools, allowing every visitor to take many enviable photos. It is definitely a must-visit attraction for photography enthusiasts! 《Entrance fee included》

– Introduction to attractions on the second day –

・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 Onsen

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-Kawahara Open-Air Bath. Each has its own unique features, so please make the most of your stay in Kusatsu Onsen and enjoy them!

・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. Unlike ordinary waterfalls, the water here comes from underground springs, flowing directly down the rock wall, forming a soft and tranquil stream, creating a unique beauty.
