I had an overnight visit to Niigata Prefecture. From Tokyo, it is a 2-hour Joetsu Shinkansen ride to Niigata City, one of the largest cities on the side of Sea of Japan.
We have a lot of snow this winter season in Japan.
A view from the observatory of Toki Messe, the tallest building there.
The ferry terminal. I remember the controversy while back for it was allowing a North Korean ship to dock.
The main road was covered with snow.
Niigata's famous for good sake, fish, and soba noodles.
A lot of snow in front of Echigo Yuzawa Station, close from ski resorts of Niigata.
A statue of Komako, a character in Nobel Prize winner, Yasunari Kawabata's Snow Country.
A typical view outside of the train I rode.
