Experience of the stay
After returning the rental car to the station front office, I searched for the hotel entrance within Niigata Station.
After passing Bic Camera on the second floor and going down the stairs, there was a sign on the left. I went up from the second floor to the fourth floor front desk,
Checked in and went up to the tenth floor. The view of Niigata Station from the window was beautiful. The room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was an additional 1800 yen per person. There were various Niigata foods, and I could taste four types of sake. There were two types of rice available, Uonuma and Sado.
Experiences during the trip
This time, I flew to Niigata with Tokiair, which launched two months ago from Chubu Centrair.
I went to Yahiko Shrine by rental car, and despite the heavy rain, the miso konnyaku I ate while sitting in a kotatsu at a nearby shop was delicious.
After that, I went to Teradomari, ate the famous Banya-jiru soup at Kakujyou Suisan, bought discounted medium fatty tuna, a four-kind rice bowl, and sushi in the evening, and had dinner at the hotel. Before dinner, I took a bus to the bus center and ate the famous bus center curry.
The next day, I went to Murakami to study salmon at the Iyo Boya Museum and enjoyed eight types of salmon dishes at Izutsuya (reservation required). The same day slots are available from 9:30 AM; meals are served every hour starting at 11 AM.
This time, despite calling two weeks before and finding that all reservations were full, I lined up at the restaurant for one hour from Niigata Hotel and managed to get a slot at 11 AM. From 9:30 AM to 11 AM, I spent time exploring the Iyo Boya Museum. It was a hard but fulfilling two-night three-day trip.
