2025 Koga Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Come to Koga, a comfortable place to live, surrounded by full amenities.

I made a reservation the day before and used this hotel on short notice to go to the Watarase Reservoir and the Koga area. It included a breakfast buffet, had a large public bath, and there was a cancellation, so I got a non-smoking single room on the top floor, a spacious semi-double bed, the building was very clean, and the front desk staff were all kind and comfortable. The blue jinbei was on a shelf above the closet next to the door. The Yomiuri Shimbun morning paper was free. The cost performance was very attractive, and since I arrived late and left early, and took a bath around 7am, it was great that it didn't feel crowded even during the three-day weekend. I would definitely use this hotel again.

I went to the Tone River Fireworks Festival held on September 14, 2024!!! 30,000 fireworks are launched in two hours, so unlike other fireworks festivals, multiple fireworks are always launched at the same time, making it a very impressive fireworks festival!!! If you have paid seats, you can see everything, including the smaller fireworks, but since larger fireworks are often launched, it is also recommended to watch them for free in the surrounding area🙆♀️ 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ✔️Points to note 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜⚫︎It is not close to the station and is difficult to access, but you will need to take a special bus or car to get there! ⚫︎All parking lots are paid, so you need to make a reservation in advance! Also, be careful that parking near the venue is expensive, ranging from 15,000 to 20,000 yen per car, and is limited to paid ticket holders⚠️ For parking spaces that cost less than 10,000 yen, you will have to walk for an hour to the venue, so you will have to choose between money and physical strength😂 This fireworks festival is difficult to access, but it is very beautiful, so if you have the opportunity, you should definitely go next year or later🤤🧡 ---- 📍 Access Special bus or car🚗 ※Please check the official website! 🎆Price Paid general seats: 5,000 yen per person ※There are other seats available, so please check the official website! You can also watch it for free in the surrounding area without getting a ticket! 🎇Number of shots 30,000 🕰️Date September 14, 2024 (Saturday) 18:30-20:30 ---- #FireworksFestival2024 #TonegawaGrandFireworksFestival #FireworksFestival #Fireworks #IbarakiTourism
