Gorin Waterfall

Hi guys! I drove to Nishikan-ku, Niigata city, Niigata prefecture, Japan to see this waterfall called “Gorin Waterfall.” 😀 It was on Jan. 13, 2025. The weather was cloudy, and it had some snow piled up. It has a parking capacity of about 4~5, but to my surprise, it was full to capacity, so I had to wait for a while nearby. Maybe because people for climbing Mt. Kakuda awaited this lull in the rain as well. Well then, before sharing my pictures of the waterfall, I am going to share Gorin Stone, on which Matsuo Bashō, a Japanese Haiku poet, and his suite sat down.

Shichimen Daitennyo Cave

Hello everyone! I drove to Nishikan-ku, Niigata city, Niigata prefecture, Japan and took a look at Shichimen Daitennyo Cave 😀 FYI, Shichimen means Seven-headed and Daitennyo means Great Heavenly Maiden. It was on Jan. 13, 2025. The weather was cloudy, and it had some snow piled up. It is known for a haunted place or a spot for testing your courage, but in reality, it is not a place with a sketchy history but a widely worshipped place. First of all, I am going to share the photos of the cave.

Kaishoku Cave

Hello there! This time I went to Kaishoku Cave on Maze Shimoyama Beach, which is situated in Nishikan-ku, Niigata city, Niigata prefecture, Japan 😀 It was on Jan. 13, 2025. The weather was cloudy, and it had some snow piled up. When I was looking at some pictures about the cave on the Internet, its naturally beautiful form created by marine erosion instantly got me interested in it, and I drove there as the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.” Besides me, there were two other anglers on the spot. All right, I am going to first share the photos of the cave.

NIIGATA Pageant of Lights 2024-2025

Good evening, everyone! I went to Keyaki Street in Niigata city just to see illuminations because I was bored to death 😀 The title of the illuminations is "NIIGATA Pageant of Lights," and this is the 37th one. This event runs from Nov. 15, 2024 to Jan. 31, 2025. It was on Jan. 13, 2025. The weather was cloudy, and it had some snow piled up. Maybe because it was Coming of Age Day, there were a lot of young people walking even at 10 p.m. You will see some of the pictures I am going to share after this modified by Magic Eraser, but hope you don't mind. All right, first of all, I am going to start with the pictures around Niigata Station.
