Whenever I visit a new place, I love checking out the local markets. Seeing all the fresh seafood and produce really gives you a sense of the local lifestyle. Of course, we sat down and enjoyed some of the freshest seafood around. Traveling is just so much fun when you can experience things like this!

TANABE Digestive Medicine URSO(R)
Ursodeoxycholic acid is actually one of bile acids that exist in our bodies and it is also an active ingredient of the Chinese medicine, “Yutan”.
One time I had some stomach bloating, and my family gave me this to try. It helped a lot after a short while. Now, whenever I live away from home, I always keep some on hand just in case.

Sekaizushi
Sekaizushi is home to fresh sushi and sashimi dishes only available in Niigata, as well as a full range of authentic local fare. The owner is known especially for increasing the number of Niigata sushi fans with his “kiwami” sushi menu, a dish that can be enjoyed at over 20 famous sushi shops in Niigata City.
This place is really popular—I saw a lot of tourists dining here. I loved their spicy chicken dish, and the fried oysters were fantastic too.
If you're not into sushi, they have other dishes you can try! -
Matsukawa Pleasure Boat
This is a historical cruise that starts at the foot of the bridge near Toyama Castle Ruins Park and takes about 30 minutes for a round trip along the Matsukawa River. The cruise is guided by the captain of the boat, who is full of personality, and visitors can enjoy the view from the water while tracing the history of the Toyama Clan, a branch of the Kaga Hyakumangoku Clan.
The cherry blossom trees on both sides were so dense, it felt like we were sailing through a tunnel of sakura! Everyone on the boat kept saying how beautiful it was, snapping photos and taking videos nonstop!
