    Nigata Pref. Odiyashi Jounai 1-8-25
    This is a complex containing both industrial and tourism facilities in Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture. The hall has exhibitions, such as a model of the only 48-inch shell in the world, Ojiyasode and Echigo Katakai Indigo Dye, and other traditional woven materials from Ojiya City. There are also items for sale and an experience workshop and gallery, where visitors can learn about the techniques used to make these materials. There is also a Hegi soba restaurant and a shop where visitors can purchase local specialties such as Sasa dango, and Ojiya Shikisai, which is made from five different colors of udon noodles, reflecting Ojiya's famous woven materials. Finally, there is also a hall available for meetings and training programs.

    小千谷縮の着物を身につけて訪ねました。中世に遡る小千谷縮の歴史や、小千谷縮の風合いが生まれるまでの数々の工程や細やかさを知り、勉強になりました。機織り体験日もあるようで、残念ながら外していましましたが、職員の方に丁寧に説明して頂きました。 小千谷縮のショップに、お土産屋さんも充実しています。

    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Nishikan-ku Iwamuronsen 96-1
    This sightseeing facility in Nishikan Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture provides information on the Iwamuro Onsen (hot spring) region’s history, traditions, culture, and tourist spots. There’s a tourism information area, a rest area, a footbath, a dining hall serving local cuisine such as the famous “kensayaki” and “rice flour ramen,” making it great as a pit stop on drives. There are also regional specialty products and souvenirs for sale. The plaza and exhibition room of the “Dento Bunka Denshokan (Traditional Culture Museum)” host various seasonal events.

    Love this little bungalow near the main onsen hotels in Iwamuro. This location captures the essence of Niigata. There are many locally sourced fruits and vegetables available for purchase as well...

    もっとアピールした方がいいですよ。 観光スポットになり、お店も大行列となることには疑問を感じますが、大好きな弥彦村を応援している1人としてはもっと弥彦村のいいところを、知って欲しいという意味を込めてお伝えします。
