Kome Hyappyo Festival
In the fall, the "Kome Hyappyo Festival" will be held to learn the history of Nagaoka.
One of the ways of thinking that has been passed down in Nagaoka City is the "spirit of the one hundred sacks".
In the past, there was a person in Nagaoka who sold valuable rice despite the times when there was little food to eat, built a school with the money gained from it, and explained the importance of education.
That idea is still passed on and is the basis of education in Nagaoka City.
