Hokushinetsu Area
Explore the Hokushinetsu region, where Niigata and Nagano offer a blend of culture, nature, and tradition. In Niigata, Japan’s “rice basket,” enjoy scenic rice paddies, taste fresh senbei, and sample over 90 types of sake at the Echigo Sake Museum. Discover historical sites like Takada Castle ruins and the Sado Gold Mine, or relax in the area’s soothing onsen.
In Nagano, soak in Jigokudani’s hot springs with wild monkeys, visit ancient sites like Zenkō-ji Temple and Togakushi Shrine, and explore charming towns like Obuse, home to Hokusai’s art. Families can enjoy ninja-themed attractions like the Togakure Ninpo Museum. From hot springs to heritage, Hokushinetsu promises a rich and relaxing getaway.
