Overview of Niigata
Niigata Prefecture is located at the center of the Japan Sea coast, and is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty including coastlines, sprawling mountain ranges designated as national parks, and bountiful rivers feeding into the fertile plains.
As the economic center of Japan shifted to the Pacific side when transportation networks developed, the Sea of Japan side preserved its culture, traditions and original scenery, almost as though sealed inside a time capsule. There is another side of Japan which is overlooked, and it can be found in Niigata.
