【Guaranteed departure】Day Bus Tour from Shinjuku: Koga Fireworks Festival, Peach Picking, and Gelato

Join the Spectacular 21st Koga Fireworks Festival

Be part of the magnificent 21st Koga Fireworks Festival, celebrated as one of the finest fireworks displays in the Kanto region. Set against the backdrop of a vast golf course located by the Watarase River, this festival provides an exceptional vantage point for viewing fireworks without any obstructions.

The evening's centerpiece is the “Music Starmine,” a breathtaking showcase where fireworks are choreographed to music and lights, creating a captivating ambiance in the night sky. Attendees will also experience the impressive Sanjakudama fireworks, colossal shells that soar to around 600 meters in height and blossom to a diameter of up to 650 meters.

This fireworks display is brought to life by the esteemed Nomura Fireworks Co., Ltd., a leading name in Japan's fireworks industry, having won the Prime Minister’s Award at the National Fireworks Competition an unprecedented 21 times.

Participants will benefit from reserved seating on the fairway of the golf course, allowing for an expansive and comfortable viewing experience, surpassing that of typical fireworks festivals. The venue also features dedicated food trucks and restroom facilities exclusively for guests with paid seating, enhancing the overall experience.

Every guest will receive two ¥500 vouchers redeemable at all food trucks on-site. A diverse selection of gourmet food and beverages will be available, including shaved ice, pizza, gelato, curry, smoothies, sandwiches, mojitos, beer, and more.

Prior to the fireworks display, the tour includes a delightful seasonal peach picking experience at a local orchard in Tochigi Prefecture. Participants can pick two peaches to take home and enjoy a homemade Skyberry strawberry gelato, making for a refreshing summer treat.
