Niigata Port（area:HOKURIKU／NIIGATA)
The Port of Niigata, located in the center of the Japanese mainland, is an international port on the Sea of Japan coast line.
The Port of Niigata is divided into two districts: the West Port district and the East Port district. The West Port is a 10-minute drive from the Niigata Airport and the JR Niigata Station, and the JR Niigata Station is only 97 minutes away from Tokyo via the fastest bullet train.
Some 20 kilometers away, the East Port District is equipped with container terminals and can accommodate 160,000ton-class ships.
Within the city center visitors can enjoy shopping and cultural activities such as dance performances by Geisha and traditional dining at Japanese restaurants. Niigata City’s suburbs are defined by bountiful rice fields, natural scenery, and therapeutic hot springs. Additionally, the sake made from Niigata’s premium quality rice is highly valued in Japan.
