    Travel / Tourism
    Awashimura Village, Iwafune-gun, Niigata Prefecture
    This small island measuring approximately ten square kilometers floats in the Sea of Japan in the northern reaches of Niigata Prefecture. There are some amazing sights to be had despite from the wonderful beach front to the east of 265-meter-tall Mt. Koshibayama, to the sheer precipice dropping off its western face. There are plenty of camp-grounds and lots of ways to enjoy getting in touch with nature such as rental bicycles that you can use to get around the island. To get to Awashima Island you can take a ferry from either Niigata Port or Iwafune Port. Awashima is known for its Wappa, a circular bento lunch box, into which they put Isou rock-fish and miso before cooking it over red-hot stones in a dish called Wappani. Another popular local dish is Imodako, which is a mix of local potatoes and octopus cooked together.

    Nigata Pref. Shibatashi Tsukiokaonsen 563-1
    This manju store is located in the Tsukioka hot spring area in Shibata City, Niigata Prefecture. The ingredients, koshi an strained bean paste, tsubu an mashed bean paste, shiro an white bean paste and kimi an made with an ample amount of egg yolk, of these four different types of Ganso Tsukioka manju are carefully selected, while retaining the same nostalgic taste. Also available here, are pie manju, with an unusual center of marron and almond paste in flaky pie dough, roasted sweet potato manju, and Tsukioka Daifuku manju, with an impressive marriage of three flavors-mochi on the outside, fresh cream in the middle, and matcha green tea paste or cocoa paste.

    月岡温泉には、何軒か温泉まんじゅうを売っている店がある。朝早くから開いているので、チェックアウトする時間にでも、お土産に買える。１セット580円箱入り（５ケだったか）を購入。粒あんや色んな味が楽しめて美味しかった。
