Niigata City History Museum (Minatopia)

Interesting spot to learn about some of Niigata's history

If you have any interest in looking into how Niigata has grown and developed, the Niigata City History Museum is worth a visit. There are displays about the role of the rivers and the sea and how those have shaped life in the prefecture, examples of historic tools used for building and daily life, and more. The building the museum is housed in is also beautiful to admire!
