Looks so chill. Looks like a car isn't a "must" too (except the winery)

[@miwa-kyoto]

Yes, Niigata is so chill, and we miss it so much! 😿You can actually do all of this without a car, as the winery has a free shuttle bus from Uchino Station, which is 22 minutes from Niigata Station. Shuttle bus must be booked in advance though.

Thanks for the inspiration. I am heading to Nigata for 6 days in November with 2 young kids. Looking forward to it

[@miwa-kyoto]

Ohh, we envy you! 🌱 Surely you and the kids will enjoy Niigata. Will you be visiting Sado Island as well?

[@tkay112]

@@miwa-kyoto We have put it on our list, but it will depends on how the kids feel. We have a 5 and 3 year old to consider

[@miwa-kyoto]

@@tkay112 Makes sense. There is lots to see besides Sado though, Niigata is huge! Hope you will enjoy your trip 🌿
