    Teradomari Aquarium showcases the fish that live in the Sea of Japan. Besides the live specimens in the Aquarium, there are also fascinating displays about other natural creatures, including seabirds such as seagulls and kittiwakes, many different types of seaweed and small fish species, etc. The first to third floors of the Aquarium have approximately 10,000 fish belonging to around 400 different species from all over the world; visitors can watch the fish being fed. Teradomari Aquarium is located around 35-minute walk from the Nakanoshima Mitsuke Interchange of the Hokuriku Expressway.

    落ち着ける良い水族館。ウミガメに興奮、しばらく見てしまった。海に戻りたいだろうに、などと考えながらも見惚れるほど美しい。テッポウウオもおもしろいし、ゆっくりくつろげた。

    This botanical garden is located in 3 Chome, Miyamoto-machi, Nagaoka City.

    Nigata Pref. Kashiwazakishi Midorichou 3-1 Inside Matsuyunzan
    A 25-minute walk or seven-minute drive from Kashiwazaki Station on the JR Shinetsu Main Line. This Tea Ceremony Museum is within the Shoun Sanso Japanese Garden that was built in 1926. On display are many books and tools collected by Kimura Shigeyoshi who, as a tea ceremony teacher, taught many students and sought to popularize the tea ceremony. One of the biggest draws is that the tea utensils on display can actually be used for tea ceremonies. There is an outdoor tea room allowing you to enjoy your tea while gazing at the green leaves or autumn colors.

    数寄者の茶道具コレクションを中心とした茶道専門の美術館です。展示物の見事さもさることながら、隣の茶室では実際に収蔵品で抹茶を頂けます。展示物と同時に茶室で使用する茶道具の一覧も公開されてますので、使ってみたい方は好みの茶碗が使われているときに来館すると良いでしょう。なお、呈茶席のメインとなる貴重な茶碗は1席1名しか飲めませんので、電話予約をお勧めします。

    "The art museum is on Washima, where celebrated monk Ryokan Taigu spent his autumn years. It exhibits works by famous cultural figures, centering around documents and poems by Ryokan and his favored pupil Teishin-ni. Inside the museum, they fun the film ""Washimano Ryokan/Ryokan to Teishin-ni"" on a massive screen, offering an up-close look at the man's character, described as a man of ""gentle face and kind words.” There is a free calligraphy and origami activity area, to help visitors experience the soul of Ryokan themselves. Many visitors pass by on their trips to visit nearby his Bodai-ji, Ryusen-ji temple, as well as the Kimura's house where Ryokan spent his later years."

    The Tochio Art Museum was founded to mark the 40th anniversary of the granting of city status to Tochio (Tochio has since been absorbed into Nagaoka City), in a location that has the site of Tochio Castle—which is associated with Uesugi Kenshin—in the background. The Museum holds four special exhibitions every year, and also holds exhibitions of works from the Museum’s own collections by artists associated with the area. Workshops and galleries can be rented free of charge (for non-profit purposes), although advance booking is required. The Tochio Art Museum is located around 40-minute drive from the Nagaoka Interchange of the Kan-Etsu Expressway.

    予算の都合上かもしれませんが、展示物と説明があってないものがあります。 明らかに複製品、偽物が展示されており驚きました。 例えば、谷文晁とされる絵がありましたが、あのように塗る潰すような絵は描きませんし、あれほど下手な谷文晁は見たことがありません。 四十七士の絵は、江戸期と説明文には書いてありましたが、絵には明治と書いてありました。 公民館だと思えば腹は立ちませんが、もう少ししっかりして欲しいもの...

    Niigata Santo-gun Izumozakimachi Amaze 166
    “Tsumairi” is a Japanese architectural style in which the entrance is placed on one of the sides, or “tsuma.” During the Edo period, buildings were taxed based on the width of their frontage, resulting in large numbers of these long, narrow tsumairi houses standing side by side. Echigo once boasted the highest population density in the country, and Izumozaki flourished as a post station town on the old Hokkoku Highway. This facility, standing on a piece of flat ground sandwiched between a small hill and the Sea of Japan, reproduces the traditional layout of a tsumairi home and serves as a rest area for tourists and as a community gathering space. Inside, visitors can learn more about traditional architecture and its historical background, as well as tourist destinations in Izumozaki. Many tourists stop here to take a break in between exploring the town.

    A cultural facility adjoining Roadside Station Echigo-Izumozaki Tenryo-no-Sato. Inside, the facility contains a recreation of a townscape consisting of homes and businesses designed in the distinctive “tsumairi” style of Izumozaki, enabling visitors to go back in time and experience what the area looked like when it was a brilliant and bustling “tenryo” town under the direct control of the shogunate government. Through lighting and audio; and recreations of a magistrate’s ship and office, kitamaebune cargo ship, and Edo period townscape, visitors can immerse themselves in the majesty and atmosphere of the Edo period. Visitors can also decorate and create their own original paper balloon by pasting colored paper to a blank paper balloon, see a recreation of the birth home of the priest and poet Ryokan, and learn about the many writers and artists who visited and depicted Izumozaki.

The museum’s expressive figurines, depicted holding the same instruments as their real-life counterparts, have been gathered from across Japan and the world.

Another plus – visitors can view the antiques for free and spend an afternoon picturing the adventure to be found on the vast ocean.

    Kashiwazaki Collection Village is an exhibition hall of local toy and folk craft along National Route 8. Mr. Shoji Iwashita from Kashiwazaki displays roughly 9,000 items from his personal 50,000 item collection. Chigo means infatuation and enjoyment. Most of the items in the exhibition have a rustic feel to them, made by craftsman whose names are no longer known, but who put a lot of heart into creating these toys. A few items are no longer made and incredibly valuable, such as the ambassador dolls known as blue-eyed dolls made in the early Showa period.
