Niigata Hidden Gems

Berceau du meilleur riz koshihikari et du saké du Japon. L'île de Sado fut une mine d'or à l'époque Edo et est aujourd'hui un refuge pour l'ibis nippon ; Echigo-Yuzawa est le décor du roman Pays de neige ; et les rizières en terrasses de Hoshitoge enveloppées d'une mer de nuages sont un secret bien gardé.

10 spots
