□A word from us
The fireworks, which begin at 8 minutes 20 seconds, are set off to the song “Jupiter by Hirahara Ayaka.” The message “You’re not alone” and the spectacular fireworks that fill the night sky combine to really move us.
We would love for you to watch this part.

The destination of this trip is the “Nagaoka Fireworks Festival”, which is held every year in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture 🎆
The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is held every year on August 2nd and 3rd.
Set on the banks of the Shinano River in Niigata Prefecture, magnificent fireworks light up the night sky.
The event’s main purpose is to “commemorate the dead, rebuild the city, and pray for peace.”
The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival’s origins date back to the end of World War II.
On August 1st, 1945, Nagaoka City was subjected to a large-scale air raid, resulting in the loss of many precious lives. The following year, in 1946, the Nagaoka Reconstruction Festival began as a way to console and appease the souls of those who died in the raid.
It also plays a role in the “reconstruction of Nagaoka City,” which was reduced to rubble by air raids, and in sending out “prayer for peace” to the world, based on a strong determination to never repeat the tragedies of war.
Held against this backdrop, the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival is not just a way to enjoy beautiful and colorful fireworks, but also a festival to convey a story of deep prayer: mourning the victims of the war, expressing gratitude to our ancestors who worked hard for reconstruction, and praying for world peace.
We hope that this will be an opportunity to reflect on the value of peace as we feel the feelings that are put into each and every firework.
