NIIGATA

“Snow-capped mountains in the winter, cherry blossoms in spring.”

Home of the famous Fuji Rock Festival, Niigata prefecture sits along the Sea of Japan. It is popular for its snow-capped mountains, coastline and hot springs (onsen) villages. Due to its high elevation, skiing season is longer and perfect for ski enthusiasts. In spring, the Hakusan Park & Shrine is the perfect place to view cherry blossoms. The iconic Bandai Bridge is also located in Niigata crossing Shinano River, Japan’s longest river.
