Gosen

Gosen has served as a textile-producing town in Niigata Prefecture since the Edo period. It occupies the eastern side of the Niigata Plain, between the Agano River and the foothills of the Gozu Mountains, amid rice fields, waterways and forested slopes. Knitting remains a defining local craft, with Gosen-made sweaters and other knitwear sold across Japan. Spring brings a large display of cultivated peonies to the Gosen Peony Garden, while the former castle town of Muramatsu is now part of the municipality.
