Enjoy lunch at the lakeshore while taking in the cool highland air and scenery
About this spot
Positioned at 653 meters elevation, Nojiri Lake is known as a summer retreat where cool, refreshing air drifts even in midsummer. Along the lakeshore, there are scattered dining halls and shops where you can enjoy a leisurely lunch while gazing at the lake. The view across the water toward Kurohime Mountain (黒姫山) and Myoko Mountain (妙高山) carries the generous scale unique to Shinano Town. After eating, taking a short stroll along the lakeshore and scouting out tonight's fireworks viewing spot will keep your evening activities smooth. Simply sitting under the shade of trees and feeling the lake breeze is enough to fully experience the highland resort atmosphere.
Fireworks details
Name: 野尻湖花火大会
Date & time: 7/25 (Sat) 19:30–20:30
Venue: 信濃町・野尻湖上
Shells: approx. 2,000
2026年7月25日(土)19時30分から20時30分にかけて、信濃町・野尻湖上で開催される花火大会です。湖の上から打ち上がる約2,000発は、四方を囲む黒姫山や妙高山などの山々に音が反響し、体の芯まで響く迫力があります。静かな湖面に映り込む「逆さ花火」の美しさは湖上花火ならではの名物で、空と水面の両方で花火が開く光景は見る者を圧倒します。街明かりの少ない高原の夜空に大きく開く花火は、都市部の花火とは比べものにならない星空との競演も魅力のひとつ。涼しい夜風とともに楽しむ1時間は、夏の信濃町の最高のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は信濃町の公式発表で当日確認してください。終了後は湖畔周辺の道路と駐車場が混雑するため、車の場合は時間差での移動がおすすめです。夜の湖畔は照明が少なく足元が暗いため、小さなライトを手元に用意しておきましょう。高原の夜は真夏でも気温が下がるので、羽織ものは必ず持参してください。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
There are parking areas around the lakeshore, though they become congested from evening on the day of the fireworks festival. It's relatively smooth if you finish lunch by 1 PM. Some lakeshore shops and dining facilities sell out in the evening, so it's wise to stock up on snacks and drinks during this time for peace of mind.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. The midday lake surface is most calm and the scenery most beautiful.
