Your journey begins the moment you step off the Shinkansen. Echigo-Yuzawa Station is packed with must-see attractions, including a sake theme park and a surprisingly large rice ball.
All the sake from Niigata Prefecture's breweries is gathered here! For 500 yen, you can receive five coins and sample five drinks of your choice. Even if you don't drink alcohol, you can still enjoy tasting "Salt" sake from all over the country and the famous "Koji Latte."
These giant rice balls are made using an entire cup of Minamiuonuma Koshihikari rice, Japan's finest brand! They're made on the spot after your order is placed, so you can enjoy the deliciousness of the hot rice. The size is simply impressive.
The shopping mall inside the station, Gangi Street, is lined with shops selling Niigata's specialty "Sasa Dango," processed seafood, local craft beer, and even arts and crafts. There are also plenty of restaurants where you can enjoy Niigata cuisine, including sushi, hegi soba, and Niigata ramen.
Echigo Yuzawa sake is known for its clean, crisp taste, which makes the most of the pure meltwater. Another reason for its popularity is that it is home to many famous breweries, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of local sake while traveling. Inside Yuzawa Station, there is a shop called Ponshukan, where you can sample sake from breweries in Niigata Prefecture and purchase souvenirs.
Koshihikari rice from Uonuma is known for its strong sweetness, stickiness, and rich aroma, all of which are the result of snowmelt and a climate with large temperature differences. Its exceptional luster and elasticity after cooking make it one of Japan's leading brand rice.
There are many day-trip hot springs within walking distance of Echigo-Yuzawa Station, making it easy to stop by during your trip. The appeal is that you can easily enjoy the hot spring atmosphere unique to Yuzawa, such as the public baths in front of the station and the outdoor baths at inns.
