Niigata Furusato Village Bazaar Hall (新潟ふるさと村 バザール館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is the products hall of Niigata Furusato Village, where rice, sake, sweets, and pickles from every corner of the prefecture are gathered in one place. Simply walking along and looking at the shelves gives you a real sense of how large Niigata is and how many things it produces, and for children it is a living lesson about the region. There is also a food court inside, so each family member can pick what they feel like eating. Stock up on drinks and snacks here for the afternoon in the water. It is also practical to sit out the hottest hours around noon in an air-conditioned building.

Tips

The food court gets crowded at lunchtime on weekends, so eating early, sometime after 11:00, keeps the wait short. Food left in the car will spoil, so a cooler bag is reassuring. Take the chance to check your towels and change of clothes for the water here before you set off.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. Arriving sometime after 11:00 lets you avoid the lunch peak
