Not all Japan is buried under high snow! In some majestic places spring has already come with all its beauty and charm.
Unfortunately beauty of sakura never stays for long and the first rain means the end of it...
By the way, in the shade of this big sakura tree, behind the fence, there hides a tree house of an oil kiloton Saito. Yes, in Niigata oil was produced too. Among the interests of the Saito clan were oil, banking business, commerce, politics etc.
The former residence of the Saito clan is preserved in the city too.
"Enkikan" is located in a picturesque park Hakusan. In spring around the park sakura is in blossom and in summer huge lotuses open in the pond of the park.
The most beautiful places under the wonderful trees are always occupied.
From the roof of the local art center there opens the view of this stunning white sakura carpet...
One may walk on that roof and enjoy flowers...
Or look at the city and the river Sinano.
In the background - the football stadium "Big Swan" where Football Championship 2002 was held.
