Drive travel video through Japan, focused on “NIIGATA”, autumn season.
What kind of attractions you want to see and experience in Japan?
Now let’s enjoy journey through Japan and find out things to do in NIIGATA!
In Japan, one of the most popular gateway from abroad is Tokyo and your journey in Japan usually starts from Tokyo.
And what kind of transportation you will use for your travel?
Shinkansen with JR pass・・・very convenient and nice!
But , if you prefer to visit unseen local Japan, we recommend to use car rental as well.
It is useful to travel around areas where it’s hard to visit by public transportation.
Of course it’s very convenient to combine Shinkansen and drive trip depending on your destination.
From Tokyo, there are a lot of attractive destination where you can feel unique atmosphere where you can’t feel in other areas.
One of the options is “Northward Golden Route” which includes Saitama, Gunma and Niigata.
There are both Shinkansen line and highway belonging these three prefectures from Tokyo and each prefecture has unique attractions.
In this video, we introduce a part of attractions in Niigata through drive journey.
Beautiful Japanese gareden, unique mochi pounding experience, peaceful time in the accommodation surrounded by plenty of nature, many photogenic spots… we hope you enjoy this video and we are waiting for your visit.
【Overview of Niigata】
Only 70 minutes from Tokyo and after passing through a long tunnel, we find another Japan different from Tokyo and Kyoto.
Niigata Prefecture was once a wealthy region. It boasted the largest population in Japan until 150 years ago. However, due to the development of the transportation networks, the economic center shifted to the Pacific coast side, leaving the region on the Sea of Japan side behind. However, that is precisely why all of the culture, traditions, and original scenery were preserved, almost as though sealed inside a time capsule. There is another side of Japan which we miss, and it can be found in Niigata.
