When autumn dusk meets Halloween magic, Niigata, Japan, welcomes an exclusive spectacular feast! The 2026 Nagaoka Fireworks Grand Event has been fully upgraded; Nagaoka Fireworks Company has teamed up with Echigo Hills National Park for the first time to create a fantastical Halloween‑themed fireworks show, breaking away from traditional presentation forms and perfectly blending light art with festive atmosphere for a one‑of‑a‑kind autumn visual celebration, making it an unmissable romantic event in the Kanto autumn.

The core highlight of this show is the classic Japanese starburst fireworks! Unlike ordinary fireworks, this unique technique launches dozens to hundreds of fireworks in rapid succession, blooming in layers to the rhythm of the music, with star sparks bursting and falling across the sky like surging waves of a starry river, resembling a flowing night‑time parade with an overwhelmingly stunning effect. Paired with a full venue of Halloween lighting displays, the dazzling lights intertwine with the brilliant fireworks to create a dreamy yet mysterious fairytale atmosphere.

Unlock a full day of Halloween仪式感 in the daytime! Nagaoka Kaori Rose Garden is dressed in festive attire, with cute pumpkin lanterns and ghost decorations adorning the entire garden; the lights are scattered across the park, and every corner is filled with whimsical wonder, allowing you to immerse yourself in the "trick‑or‑treat" Halloween vibe—every snapshot is a stunning autumn photo.

The journey holds a thousand years of elegance and breathtaking autumn scenery! Visit Yahiko Shrine, with its 2,400‑year history, nestled among the pine and cedar forests at the foot of Mount Yahiko, with the clear Mitaraigawa River flowing gently by—a serene and tranquil environment that washes away the hustle and bustle of travel. This major shrine of the Hokuriku region enshrines the regional guardian deity, carrying a thousand years of local faith and offering ancient charm that soothes the soul.

A dual treat for the palate and the eyes! Head to Yamorokusui Teradomari Market Restaurant beside the Echigo‑Sado Strait, where fresh seafood is sourced directly from Teradomari Port, and savour the seasonal delicacies of the Sea of Japan. Stroll along the Kaidai sightseeing terrace and take in the stunning sunset over the Sea of Japan; the healing view of the crimson sky and sea is mesmerising, and you can also shop for local sake, Echigo sweets, and specialty agricultural products. The autumn‑exclusive three‑tiered autumn leaves at Hakuba Sangō are an unparalleled sight, with snow‑capped peaks, red leaves, and green trees layered in stunning contrast, presenting the panoramic autumn beauty of the 2,200‑metre elevation difference, showcasing the grandeur of Hokuriku's autumn scenery.

Enjoy the fireworks from premium reserved seats throughout the tour—no jostling for space, just comfortable seating while watching the Halloween starburst fireworks. A fireworks dream, a thousand‑year‑old shrine, and the flavours of mountain and sea—all the romance of Niigata's autumn awaits you!
