Avoid the crowds of Tokyo and Kyoto and consider visiting Niigata prefecture for next spring

Although we were a little late for the cherry blossoms this year (we saw some though!), Niigata is packed with everything Japan has to offer: the best food, culture, history, events, and more. All within a quick ride on the bullet train from Tokyo!

Niigata can be combined with the nearby Noto Peninsula (   • The perfect side trip from Kanazawa ...  ), Kanazawa, Takayama (   • Hida Takayama  retro vibes, hidden g...  ), or Yamanaka Onsen (   • Cozy hot spring town in the Japanese ...  ).
