Feeling as if I had stepped back in time, I found myself fascinated by the peaceful atmosphere of Edo period (1603–1868) styled houses of Bokushi Dori. This major street in southern Niigata is lined with old-fashioned buildings, and the calm mood of a Japanese post town lined with inns and travelers still remains. Located in an area of Japan famous for snow, it’s a very comfortable resort spot during the summer with cool, dry breezes. If you are tired by the heat and busyness of the city during summertime, this is the place to be.

With maple trees lining the streets, this place must be especially beautiful in the fall. No visible power lines makes a huge difference, as well.
