Access to Niigata
Niigata is located on the Sea of Japan coast of Honshu Island, and it is easily accessible from Tokyo by Joetsu Shinkansen, a high-speed railway connecting Tokyo and Niigata in about 2 hours. So JR (Japan Railway) Niigata Station is the first destination when you visit Nature Aquarium Gallery.
From Niigata Station, you can access to Nature Aquarium Gallery with following route.
1) JR Echigo Line and Taxi Ride
2) Niigata Kotsu Express Bus
The Nature Aquarium Gallery was established in July, 2003, and it is located in the entrance space of ADA Headquarter in Niigata, Japan. Even though access to the gallery may not be easy for travelers from abroad, we are confident you can experience the original AMANO layout you cannot find anywhere else, and it is worth making a day-trip from Tokyo or other major tourist spots in Japan. We also recommend gallery visitors to stay overnight in a traditional Japanese style Inn with a hot spring bath, and enjoy delicacies of Niigata.
