    Niigata Prefecture Niigata City Nishika-ku
    This cape is at the end of a ridge off of Mt. Kakudayama. Kakuda Cape Lighthouse was first lit in 1959. A huge sand-dune known as Niigata Sand-dune runs north from the cape towards Murakami City. The south side is mountainous along which runs the picturesque Echigo-Nanaura Seaside Line and on a clear day you can see across the sea to Sado Island. While normally you cannot enter the lighthouse during events such as Marine Day it is open to the public.

Found along the northwestern coast of Japan, Niigata prefecture is celebrated for its high-quality rice and breathtaking nature, most notably its spectacular mountains, whose white peaks draw in snow sports lovers from far and wide over the winter months. Hit the slopes at Yuzawa, pick out your favourite modern artist at Echigo Tsumari, or take a ferry over to Sado Island for an extra adventure.
