It has a real rural Japan feel. The streets are quiet, and the pottery atmosphere is really strong. There are Bizen ware shops all along the way, and it’s fun to watch people making pottery and browse the pieces. Great for people who like to take it slow and enjoy handmade crafts and traditional culture.

TANABE Digestive Medicine URSO(R)
Ursodeoxycholic acid is actually one of bile acids that exist in our bodies and it is also an active ingredient of the Chinese medicine, “Yutan”.
One time I had some stomach bloating, and my family gave me this to try. It helped a lot after a short while. Now, whenever I live away from home, I always keep some on hand just in case.

Sekaizushi
Sekaizushi is home to fresh sushi and sashimi dishes only available in Niigata, as well as a full range of authentic local fare. The owner is known especially for increasing the number of Niigata sushi fans with his “kiwami” sushi menu, a dish that can be enjoyed at over 20 famous sushi shops in Niigata City.
This place is really popular—I saw a lot of tourists dining here. I loved their spicy chicken dish, and the fried oysters were fantastic too.
If you're not into sushi, they have other dishes you can try! -
Minato no Marche at Pier Bandai
At Minato no Marche Pier Bandai, you can find all kinds of delicious foods from Niigata. There is a wide selection of freshly harvested fish from the Sea of Japan, vegetables directly delivered from local farms, seasonal fruits, delicious meats, and Niigata brand rice and famous sake.
Whenever I visit a new place, I love checking out the local markets. Seeing all the fresh seafood and produce really gives you a sense of the local lifestyle. Of course, we sat down and enjoyed some of the freshest seafood around. Traveling is just so much fun when you can experience things like this!
