About Niigata
Enjoy delicious Japanese cuisine, ski resorts and plenty of hot springs when visiting the Niigata Prefecture (新潟県, Niigata-ken). It is located along the coast of the Sea of Japan. It is a prefecture not many foreign tourist visit often, so exploring it is very exciting. Beyond the mountains, scenic beaches stretch along the coast and ferries operate to rustic Sado Island. Seafood, rice, and sake are local specialties in Niigata. You can enjoy seafood distinctive of the Sea of Japan throughout the year. In addition to sushi with outstanding freshness, you can try hamayaki-style seafood eaten luxuriously in markets and red snow crab rich in miso. Make sure to stop and try the sake in Niigata. Niigata is home to the greatest number of sake breweries in Japan. Craft beer was also brewed for the first time here in Japan. By renting a car, you enjoy a scenic drive past mountains and coasts. The Sea of Japan is a site to see in itself. All of the driving routes we provide are round trip from Niigata city. You can enjoy driving deeper in Japan by self-drive travel on the coast.
