  • Sado Aikawa Sunflower Field
    Travel / Tourism
    Niigata Sado-shi Ogawa 2066-1
    A sunflower field that spreads along Prefectural Route 45 past downtown Aikawa City on the way to Senkaku Bay. The golden sunflowers continue on against the blue backdrop of the Sea of Japan. It's a relaxing area with a pleasant sea breeze. The contrast produces different atmospheres throughout the day. The best time to visit is from late July to mid-August. The villagers plant seeds so that they come into full bloom during the Obon festival to please tourists as well as locals who have moved away but come back for the holiday (very common in Japan). Lots of people stop by the side of the road to take in summer scenery you can only see in Sado.

  • Niibo Dam Lake Shore
    Travel / Tourism
    Niigata Sado-shi Kaminiibo
    Niibo Dam was built to hold back the upper reaches of the Kokufu River, Sado’s largest river, resulting in an accompanying lake and sprawling lakeshore area. An agricultural dam, it provides water for Niibo, an area which is committed to the conservation and recovery of the Japanese crested ibis; scenic lookouts and campgrounds veritably encircle the dam. Some 1,500 cherry trees spanning around 20 varieties have been planted on the lakeshore, and it is famous as one of Sado’s top cherry blossom viewing destinations. In spring, the area bustles with amateur photographers and people come to enjoy the flowers. The area is also known for its seasonal beauty, including azaleas in early summer and fall foliage in autumn, and year-round many people come here to take walks and go jogging.

    Niigata Sado-shi Aikawasanchomehamamachi 18-1

    A very fun and informative exhibit on the history of Sado and its relation to gold and silver mining. The exhibits were not interactive per se, but I would strongly recommend this place to visitors...

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.
