    Nigata Pref. Nishikambaragunyahikomura Yahiko 1240-1
    Shasaian Hirashio is a souvenir shop with a café featuring Japanese-style sweets on the second floor, located outside the main gate of Yahiko Shrine. Originally built in 1849 by the shrine carpenters as a traditional farmhouse, the building was repurposed by the German architectural designer Karl Bengs. The eye is drawn to the red pine colored outer walls, the modern interior furnishings, and the black pillars and beams. The first floor features furoshiki wrapping cloths, hand towels, incense, traditional sweets, and other Japanese-style souvenirs, and customers can relax in the tea shop on the second floor, which sells sweets made from ingredients, such as the highest grade of matcha tea from Uji and carefully selected Tamba Dainagon azuki beans. The nearest train station is Yahiko Station.

    ゆっくり行きましょう。そんな雰囲気の場所でもあり、パワースポットでもあるでしょう。 敷地的にはそれほど広くないのですが、隅々まで見られるような神社です。

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.
