About Niigata

Niigata city is a beautiful port city surrounded by a grand sea and vast cultivation fields. Japan’s longest river, the Shinano River, runs through it.
As a center for food and sake, Niigata continues to attract people from all over the world, as well as Japan.
Niigata was opened in 927 C.E. to transport tributes to Kyoto. In 1672 it developed as an important port town that transported rice to Osaka and Tokyo. In 1869, Niigata Port opened five ports and became an international city. Now it was open to the world and has since played a valuable role in the development of Japan and the world.
