    Travel / Tourism
    Niigata Sado-shi
    A museum with a variety of exhibits on local performing arts, folk art, and the history and culture of Sado. Adjoining the Niibo Administration Service Center, here visitors can come in contact with the history and culture of Niibo. Three forms of puppet theater –puppets of preachers, puppets of simpletons, and traditional bunya puppets– have existed in Sado since ancient times, and in modern times each has been designated a National Important Intangible Folk-Cultural Property. In turn, visitors can also learn about these traditional performing arts, their history, and culture in this museum. The museum also holds activity classes such as making ancient magatama stone jewels, and Sakiori recycled cloth weaving.

    Niigata Sado-shi Ogimachi

    小木港の近く、幸丸展示場と隣接している位置にあります。千石船で貨幣、帳面、船往来手形、印鑑などの貴重品を入れるために使用された船箪笥が展示されているとことで楽しみに伺いました。しかし、休館中なのか鍵が掛かっていました。屋外展示物「御影石」はそのまま展示されていました。

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.
