Planning your trip to Japan? Make sure to add Niigata to your list!! Not only famous for hosting one of the best ski areas in Japan, Niigata offers a bunch of hiking trails as well. We went to climb Mt. Tairappyou after we found out we couldn’t ride a gondola. It was an amazing and beautiful climb, even for beginners like us! Make sure to go early though, as we started around 12pm and had to return halfway because it took longer than we thought.
