Travel Tips for Niigata

In APRIL, Go to a Hanami Party in NIIGATA

by KevinMichael

On about the 2nd weekend in Niigata, you can enjoy the beauty of Niigata's blooming
cherry trees (Sakuraki). You can also enjoy
eating local food such as popoyagi (only in Niigata). The best place to buy this is at Hakusan Shrine (Hakusan Jinja). There are plenty of Japanese Sakura trees in full bloom at this time. Walk along the Shinano
River to see the crowds of people enjoying the weekend, the beautiful tulips, and the cheery blossoms.

Niigata Fact: Niigita's official flower is the Tulip.

Niigata Prefectural Government Memorial Hall

by KevinMichael

This building is the only surviving Meiji era structure modelled after British Parliament Houses

This building, modeled after British Parliament Houses, is the only surviving Meiji era structure of its kind. Today it acts as a museum housing photographs and documentation of the changes that both the city and prefecture of Niigata have undergone during the last 150 years or so.

Of particular interest are the photographs showing what the city used to look like and how the width of the Shinano River and the length of Bandai Bridge has dramatically changed in less than 100 years. Also, present are photos depicting the disasters Niigata has experienced over the years from floods to earthquakes.

As denoted by some photos, Niigata was once a city with a considerable number of canals. Those streets still bare the name of having been canals but are completely paved over today.

Also inside the former government hall are the former meeting chambers of the government still preserved as they were.
