Nishikan Ward

Nishikan Ward has served as Niigata City’s western coastal administrative ward in Niigata Prefecture since 2007. Facing the Sea of Japan, it stretches from the cultivated Echigo Plain to the slopes of Mount Kakuda, a 481-metre peak beside the coast. Iwamuro Onsen is the ward’s best-known traditional resort, where hot-spring inns remain part of local travel culture. Kakudahama and nearby beaches give the area a distinctly coastal character, while vineyards and wineries contribute a contemporary food-and-drink dimension. Mount Yahiko and the important Yahiko Shrine lie close to the ward’s southern edge. Move on to other webcams in Niigata Prefecture to compare landscapes and settings around Nishikan Ward.
