There is a total of 47 prefectures in Japan. Just as the townscapes, activities, and gourmet foods differ from region to region, the characteristics of local people also vary. In this series, we will delve into the local circumstances of each prefecture by introducing attractions and local people's tidbits. This time, we will focus on Niigata Prefecture, which borders the Sea of Japan. Niigata is known for the Nagaoka Festival fireworks display in the summer, the snowfall in the winter, the Kamakura Cafe in Tokamachi City, and ski tourism such as the Yuzawa Kogen Ski Resort and Naeba Ski Resort.
