Que faire à Niigata, la plus grande ville portuaire sur la mer du Japon

Située sur l’estuaire de Shinano, la rivière la plus longue du Japon, Niigata, capitale de la préfecture du même nom, est l’une des villes les plus peuplées de la région nord du Japon. A deux heures environ en Shinkansen au nord de Tokyo, c’est une ville agréable et dynamique qui donne accès à de nombreux sites tels que des sources d’eau chaude, des stations de ski, des plages et à l’île de Sado, joyau de la préfecture.

The old buildings of the Niigata Customs House (dating from 1869), the Daishi Bank, and the City Hall house the city's history museum, Minatopia.

With newer buildings lining the waterfront, for example, the Marinepia Nihonkai Aquarium, with 20,000 marine animals and over 500 species, is one of the largest aquariums in Japan. A large transparent tunnel allows you to walk "surrounded" by marine creatures. Penguins, sea lions, and dolphins also put on a show.

To the south of the aquarium, the Japan Sea Tower and its revolving restaurant offer beautiful views of the city.

The modern part of Niigata

This is the lively part of the city with its shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. In the Bandai Bridge area is the Rainbow Tower, which has a 100-meter-high observation point overlooking the city with a revolving restaurant on the same floor.

Also in the modern section of the city, the 125-meter high Bandaijima Building is the tallest building on the Japan Sea coast. Its observatory, Befco, on the 31st floor, offers a 360-degree view and on a clear day, you can see the Sea of Japan, Sado Island, and the Gozu Mountains. The good news is that admission is free.

About 2km south of Niigata station, the city is surrounded by a lake, Toyanogata, around which parks and walking paths have been laid out. Bicycle rentals are also available.
