Overall Ratings

One of the three great fireworks festivals of Japan, this is the main event that heralds the finale of the Nagaoka Festival. It was selected in 2016 as No.1 fireworks events, as chosen by noted fireworks experts. A must-see is a super-massive ball of fireworks, the "star mine," which is a congeries of five different-colored fireworks launched from five angles, and select Ju-go tama balls crafted by each fireworks veteran, with crowd-pleasing designs. A total of 20,000 fireworks are launched, and attendees number close to one million. The Nagaoka Festival itself was launched in 1946 as the Nagaoka Recovery Festival, a prayer for recovery after the August 1, 1945 air raids.
3. Suginohara

Reviewed By dalliance47 - Tweed Heads, Australia
Mt Myoko is a much quieter ski area than nearby Hukuba. The area is better catered for families, especially where some are yet to achieve the skill needed to ski like a pro. Of the several resorts on the mountain, Suginohara excels. The wide runs offer many Green and Red (Blue elsewhere) run options. And, for families, kids under 14 ski free. Unlike other resorts nearby, nearly all the lifts are of the newer (fast) style. The only 'downer' is that the (old) access lift often opns after the rest have opened. This means that to enjoy 1st tracks, one must drive a car to the 'base' area. This access lift should open at least 15 minutes (better 30 minutes) before the Gondola. There are plenty of good food options. So, unless you are a black level skier, you will have lots of fun.
4. Kagura Ski Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 221 reviews
The biggest draw of Kagura is great powder snow due to its high altitude. The ski area also has easy access to the backcountry area that attracts expert riders from all over the world. Stay at Wada Goya, a mountain hut on the ski hill, and enjoy the pure first track in the morning.

Came here for a short spring skiing sprint. Loved it. Snow was good and very quiet. Lifts were fine, and food on the mountain was reasonable. It was our first time here but would not hesitate to come back. Plus point is it’s proximity to Tokyo and the ease to get to it.

Stumbled across this place unexpectedly and was blown away by the site, it was so out of this world. Wish we could get closer to it but still felt pretty unreal. The hotel I stayed also took me there at night when the light show was on and it was so eerie. Would recommend check it out both day and night (if the light show is on) to compare if u are staying close by. There is also a pottery shop close but I ran out of time to visit due to limited bus run.
