What to do in Niigata before Nagaoka Fireworks? Fuji Trip Ep 3 [Reupload]

Hi everyone, in this video I will be traveling from Sado back to Nagaoka in Niigata to watch one of the top 3 fireworks in Japan.

I arrived in Niigata so the day was quite impromptu except for the fireworks which I have already have researched in advance. However, I did not realize that you need to a ticket to watch the fireworks! Join me in my adventure to navigate myself to the Nagaoka fireworks!
