[2025 Nagaoka Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Yahiko (Updated May)

#0yentravelJanuary2025 A random scene I took on the mountain of Yahiko Shrine, where I stopped in Niigata. Niigata is said to have few tourist spots, and after thinking about where to go, I ended up at Yahiko Shrine by chance. There was a ropeway, so I took it and was able to take a picture of the beautiful Sea of ​​Japan. Combined with the snowy scenery, the blue gradation of the sea overturned the preconceived notion of the Sea of ​​Japan. I was satisfied with the scenery that I would not have been able to find if I had followed the plan. Planning a trip is good, but it's also good to decide on a destination on a whim.

Mount Yahiko stands tall, and the Yahiko Shrine on the mountain is solemn and simple. The vermilion buildings shine brightly in the embrace of the green mountains and forests. During the festival, people in traditional costumes pray devoutly, surrounded by smoke and the crisp sound of bells. The cultural heritage flows quietly on this land. The wetlands of Niigata are a paradise for birds. The reeds sway in the wind, and countless rare migratory birds rest and forage here. They either sing loudly or fly low, adding a lively atmosphere to this quiet place. The wind farm by the sea has huge windmills arranged in an orderly manner along the coastline. The white blades slowly rotate in the sea breeze, contrasting with the blue sky and sea, showing the harmonious coexistence of technology and nature, and outlining a unique modern landscape.
