Tour de Nippon in Itoigawa, Niigata
新潟の最西端に位置する糸魚川市は、宝石箱のような街なのかもしれない。地形的特徴や名所などを地図に書き記してみると、世界に誇れるものがぎゅっと凝縮して存在していることに気づく。ころんと丸い小石を海岸で拾いながら街を眺めれば、その背後を覆うように連なる日本百名山を含む美しい北アルプスの山々までが目に入る。海・街・山が織りなすダイナミックな風景にため息がこぼれる。豊かで厳しい大地、自然とともに強くしなやかに生きる人に心を寄せる旅へ。
Situated on the western tip of Niigata Prefecture, the city of Itoigawa is something of a jewelry box. Scrawling down the topographical traits and famous places on a map, you realize that it is crammed full of world-beating spots. As you pick up the round pebbles on the seashore, a glance over the city reveals the dramatic backdrop of the Northern Alps, including several of Japan’s most celebrated peaks. Time to take a trip into this bucolic yet unforgiving land, where locals agilely coexist with nature.

Oyashirazu Geosite - Itoigawa Global Geopark
The cliffs at which the Northern Japanese Alps fall into the Sea of Japan were the product of terrestrial volcanic activity occurring about 100 million years ago. The ancient Hokuriku Road was wedged in a small space between these cliffs and the sea, making for a perilous journey, especially when the waves would surge. Large pockets and caves eroded into the wall where travelers would take refuge from the stormy seas still remain on the face of these cliffs.
During the Heian period (CE 794-1185), following their clan's defeat in the Genpei War, the wife of Taira no Yorimori followed her husband from Kyoto through these cliffs to the Kanbara District of Echigo Province, in what is now Nagaoka City. It was during this journey when her child was swept away by the raging waves. In memory of this, she composed the poem: Oyashirazu ko wa kono ura no namimakura Koshiji no iso no awa to kieyuku From this poem was born the name of these cliffs, Oyashirazu, 'without the parents knowing.'
During the Meiji era, a road was carved out halfway up the cliffs. During the Showa era a tunnel was built through the mountains, forever changing the shape of the Hokuriku Road. Finally, during the Heisei era, the fourth generation Hokuriku Expressway was completed. In addition to these four generations of roads, Oyashirazu also marks the origin of the Tsugami Shindo Road, making this the intersection of many roads from many ages. Here, where the sheer cliffs spread out against the Sea of Japan, gaze upon the many incarnations of the Hokuriku Road and enjoy a stroll along the shore where you just might find some jade!

Journey through JAPAN【Niigata】
Drive travel video through Japan, focused on NIIGATA, autumn season.
What kind of attractions you want to see and experience in Japan?
Now let's enjoy journey through Japan and find out things to do in NIIGATA!
In Japan, one of the most popular gateway from abroad is Tokyo and your journey in Japan usually starts from Tokyo.
And what kind of transportation you will use for your travel?
Shinkansen with JR pass・・・very convenient and nice!
But , if you prefer to visit unseen local Japan, we recommend to use car rental as well.
It is useful to travel around areas where it's hard to visit by public transportation.
Of course it's very convenient to combine Shinkansen and drive trip depending on your destination.
From Tokyo, there are a lot of attractive destination where you can feel unique atmosphere where you can't feel in other areas.
One of the options is Northward Golden Route which includes Saitama, Gunma and Niigata.
There are both Shinkansen line and highway belonging these three prefectures from Tokyo and each prefecture has unique attractions.
In this video, we introduce a part of attractions in Niigata through drive journey.
Beautiful Japanese gareden, unique mochi pounding experience, peaceful time in the accommodation surrounded by plenty of nature, many photogenic spots… we hope you enjoy this video and we are waiting for your visit.
【Overview of Niigata】
Only 70 minutes from Tokyo and after passing through a long tunnel, we find another Japan different from Tokyo and Kyoto.
Niigata Prefecture was once a wealthy region. It boasted the largest population in Japan until 150 years ago. However, due to the development of the transportation networks, the economic center shifted to the Pacific coast side, leaving the region on the Sea of Japan side behind. However, that is precisely why all of the culture, traditions, and original scenery were preserved, almost as though sealed inside a time capsule. There is another side of Japan which we miss, and it can be found in Niigata.
