Movies filmed in Nishikan Ward, Niigata, Japan

Nishikan Ward covers a dramatic stretch of coastline, with popular surf spots off rugged headlands, views across the Sea of Japan from waterfront parks, and Shinto shrines like Daimiki. Traditional sake breweries host tours and tastings, while seafood restaurants offer oysters, sashimi, and seasonal delicacies like red snow crab. Across the forested mountains, bathhouses have outdoor tubs on natural hot springs.
