Known for its luxurious donated fireworks, it is counted among the three major fireworks festivals in Echigo, alongside the Nagaoka Festival by the sea and the Kashiwazaki Festival by the river, as the mountain festival surrounded by mountains. The fireworks launched from behind the shrine total about 15,000, centered around shell fireworks. The impressive rapid-fire displays of five and ten-tier shells, as well as the world's largest four-foot shells reaching a blooming diameter of about 800 meters, are breathtaking. Traditional events such as \"Tamaokuri\" and \"Tsutsuhiki\" are also held, turning the entire town into a fireworks spectacle.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":180998,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[77],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-185512","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-event"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":8}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/185512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/185512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
