Tainai

The landscape around Tainai is a broad coastal plain between the Sea of Japan and mountains inland, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The Tainai River crosses the city toward the coast, and rice-growing land extends around Nakajo, the main built-up area. Tainai became a city in 2005 through the merger of the former town of Nakajo and village of Kurokawa, uniting coastal lowlands with more upland communities. In northern Niigata Prefecture, it is also served by the Uetsu Main Line, the rail route connecting Niigata with Murakami and the Sea of Japan coast.
