Living in Shibata

A castle-ruins and hot-spring city. It is about 40 minutes to Niigata Station, and you use the JR Hakushin Line and the JR Uetsu Main Line.

An independent city northeast of Niigata with castle ruins and hot springs. It is around forty minutes by train to Niigata Station, so a daily commute is a burden. In exchange, rents are far lower and there are many spacious units. It becomes an option if your workplace is on this side or you get around by car.
