  • Sasagawa Nagare
    Travel / Tourism
    Nigata Pref. Murakamishi Hamashimbo - Samukawa
    The Sasagawa Nagare coast, which takes its name from Sasagawa village, is an 11-kilometer stretch of beautiful coastline that features clear blue seas and white sandy beaches. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of scenery, including reefs and caves featuring unusual rock formations created by erosion from the battering that they receive from the powerful waves of the Sea of Japan. The Sasagawa Nagare coast was designated a National Site of Scenic Beauty and a Special Natural Monument in 1927. The coast is about five-minute walk from either JR Kuwagawa Station, JR Imagawa Station or JR Echigo-Kanagawa Station.

    Niigata Shibata-shi Kaiya 393
    Mt. Omine is a 399 meter high peak in the Kushigata mountain range, the smallest range in Japan. It's a famous spot for hill cherry blossoms, and in 1934 the Tochidaira Sakura Jurin cherry forest was designated a National Natural Monument. There are over 40 varieties of cherry tree here, including North Japanese hill cherry, Kasumi-zakura cherry, and Okuchoji cherry, which can be differentiated as they spread up from midmountain to the peak. Some trees are naturally produced hybrids, and in spring they paint the mountain surface in a snowy blanket of petals. There is a well maintained trail up to the observation deck, and it's a popular hiking course from early spring into autumn.

  • Hachiman
    Travel / Tourism
    Niigata Murakami-shi Gatsugi 1099
    A community center operating out of the main building and gymnasium of the former Sanpoku-machi Minami Junior High School, which was closed in 1996. The center is used for training camps, education, seminars, and other activities. Here visitors can try old-fashioned shinaori weaving, and covered button making using tatami mat end fabric, and watch soba noodle making and traditional salt making. A former craft room has been turned into a rock bath free flowing “kakenagashi” style from a source spring, and visitors can also stay in guest rooms which were once classrooms. Although the structure has been altered significantly, there is a classroom which still has its lockers and blackboard, and sometimes you can find former graduates of the school taking a trip down memory lane here.

  • Okutainai

    Niigata Tainai Shimoarasawa Tainai Mountain 1202-49
    This is the general area around the Mt. Iide climbing trailhead. It's a popular leisure spot with a flower park, restaurants serving craft beer, fishing parks with stocked streams, and more. There are still large stretches of untouched wilderness here, so it's perfect to spend a few quiet moments away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I autumn, the beech, maple, and other broadleaf trees along the Tainai river turn this into a famous fall foliage spot.
