Nagaoka covers a long stretch of central Niigata coastline including Teradomari, an Edo-era kitamaebune merchant-ship port whose Shirayamahime shrine still holds 52 funa-ema votive tablets painted by 18th- and 19th-century captains. The Nagaoka Festival fireworks each August commemorate the city's WWII firebombing in three nights of memorials over the Shinano River.
