Niigata enjoys good fishing all year long, and that means fresh, delicious seafood is always on the menu here. The prefecture has also long been known for growing delicious rice, among the most coveted in Japan. The rice is mainly grown on rice terraces cut into the steep and scenic terrain. This is one of Japan's most iconic landscapes. And since rice is the main ingredient in sake, Niigata is also a premiere sake-making region.
During the summer, Niigata hosts one of Japan's largest fireworks displays: the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival.

In your room at a ryokan, you will find Japanese-style robes called "yukata." You can wear them in your room, or walking around town, or as pajamas.
Here's how you put on a yukata: Tuck the right flap inside and pull the left flap over it. Wrap the belt twice around and tie it like this.
Well done!
