The history of bullfighting in Yamakoshi Village, Niigata Prefecture, is said to be as old as 1,000 years. Bulls have long been bred for farming and as workers to transport goods. The characteristic of bullfights in Yamakoshi Village is that they end in a draw so that the bulls do not get hurt.

Sake

Niigata, a rice-producing region, is home to nearly 90 sake breweries. Famous sake breweries such as Kubota, Hakkaisan, and Koshinokanbai were born in Niigata. At the Ponshu-kan in Nagaoka Station, visitors can sample the sake they are interested in from a sake tasting machine with a sake cup.

Oguni Washi

Traditional Oguni Washi has a history of over 300 years. The raw material is a plant called kouzo, and pure white washi is completed by bleaching it on the snow that accumulates every winter. The washi-making experience is also available, and is recommended for family trips.

crested ibis

The crested ibis once existed throughout the country, but became extinct in 2003. Since then, ibis donated from China have been bred, and now the number is gradually increasing, with chicks born every year. It is very beautiful to see them flying with their bright red faces and orangey-pink wings spread.
