Kashiwazaki

The Sea of Japan defines the setting of Kashiwazaki — its shoreline, port areas and beaches orient daily life toward Niigata Prefecture’s western coast. The Sabaishi River runs through the city before reaching the sea, linking inland neighbourhoods with the waterfront. Kashiwazaki is widely associated with the Kashiwazaki Gion Festival, whose large summer fireworks display is staged over the water and draws audiences to the coast. The city also lies near the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, a major feature of the surrounding coastal area.
