Exploring Niigata Prefecture.

Straddling the banks of Japan's longest river, the port city of Niigata receives very few international tourists, despite being easily accessible by air, sea and rail. The city is known for being one of the nation's leading agricultural cities and offers a mix of traditional and contemporary points of interest.
