            Like no other city, a designated metropolitan area in a rural setting 
              A government ordinance-designated city, Niigata is a place where modern urbanity coexists with a rural environment. 
            Though Niigata is a prominent rice-growing area, it is also known for its production of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Abundant water resources and the convenience of high-speed transportation networks attract industry of all kinds.  |
