Hotel Okura Niigata

Hotel Okura Niigata is located along the Shinano River between the downtown area “Furumachi” and Niigata Station, in a quiet and calm setting. While the Okura brand is known for its high-class atmosphere and top service, the Niigata property has a long history, opening in 1978 and marking its 40th anniversary in 2018. River-facing rooms offer views of the Shinano River—Japan’s longest—and the important cultural property Bandai Bridge spanning it. After relaxing in the spacious rooms, breakfast is a highlight: the chef prepares omelets in front of you using “Omoide Tamago” eggs from Kawase Poultry Farm in Shibata City, Niigata—something you can’t taste elsewhere. There are also Niigata Koshihikari rice comparisons and local dishes like tare-katsu and funori soba. Free parking for 110 cars is available, making it recommended to visit by car. Access: about 5 minutes by car from Niigata Station and about 20 minutes from Niigata Airport.
