Package holiday to Niigata

Niigata is Japan's rice capital and sake paradise — the prefecture produces the best rice and the most sake in the country. The port city on the coast of the Sea of Japan offers a fascinating mix of culinary excellence, traditional craftsmanship, and a winter landscape that is unmatched.

The Furumachi Geisha District is one of the last remaining geisha districts in Japan: unlike Kyoto's overcrowded Gion, you can still experience authentic geisha performances in intimate teahouses here. Niigata was once one of Japan's five official geisha cities.

The Bandai Bridge area along the Shinano River — the longest river in Japan — is the historical center with the photogenic Bandai Bridge. The Niigata Sake no Jin — the annual sake festival in March — offers tastings of over 500 varieties from 90 breweries in a single space.

Sado Island — accessible by ferry — features gold mines from the Edo period (UNESCO candidate), the Toki (Japanese ibis, once nearly extinct), and the traditional Tarai-Bune (washtub boat) experience. In winter, the region transforms into a snow paradise with some of the best onsen (hot springs) in Japan.

Niigata particularly impresses with fascinating culture, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
