Niigata
Niigata Prefecture (Niigata-ken) is located in the Shinetsu region on Honshu
island, the coast of the Sea of Japan. The capital is the city of Niigata.
Niigata prefecture stretches about 240 km along the Sea of Japan from southwest
to north east, with a coastal plain between the mountains and the sea.
It also includes Sado Island. The blue circle represents nature, abundance,
and the infinite possibilities of the new age of the Japan Sea Rim region.
The growing wave, spread out like a fan, is a symbol of the prefecture's
limitless development potential and originality. It conveys a positive
image of a prefecture that has a beautiful culture, caring people, and
global perspectives, all of which help establish Niigata as a strong base
for the Era of Japan Sea Exchange.
