■ Niigata is close to Tokyo and offers a wealth of fun winter activities!
It takes about two hours to reach Niigata from Tokyo. In addition to skiing in one of the world's few heavy snowfall areas, as a major rice production region Niigata offers sake, gourmet food, and many interesting things to do.
