Living in Niigata Station

The Shinkansen gateway. The Joetsu Shinkansen, the JR Shin'etsu Main Line and the JR Echigo Line branch out from this station, so you can reach anywhere in Niigata in one ride.

The gateway to Niigata, where the Joetsu Shinkansen stops and four conventional lines meet. Commercial facilities continue through the station building and the underground passage, so shopping and dining are all taken care of inside the station. Tokyo is two hours away by Shinkansen, which favors people who travel on business often. However, there are many offices around the station, so it tends to be quiet at night.
