Watching hotels around Kashiwazaki and Nagaoka for the fixed July 26 sea fireworks — 100 shakudama fired at once over the Japan Sea.
Watched nights: Jul 24–26. Base: Kashiwazaki Stn. This event is watched on demand: tap resume on the page to start it, and the instant a highly-rated hotel frees up (a cancellation), Aki alerts you with a one-click Rakuten Travel booking link.
The 'sea' member of Echigo's three great fireworks (with Nagaoka's river and Katakai's mountain shows). Fixed on July 26, it empties the whole Kashiwazaki–Nagaoka corridor — the host city of 80,000 has only a handful of hotels of its own.
Staying on the Nagaoka side of the Shin-etsu Line is the standard play; rooms return near free-cancellation deadlines, and Tsubame-Sanjo or Yahiko widen the pool.
