Niigata Station

Niigata Station is the main railway hub of Niigata city, the capital of Niigata Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast. It opened in 1904 during the Meiji era and today serves as the region's primary transport interchange, linking Shinkansen services to Tokyo with regional lines fanning out across the prefecture. Beyond its founding date and transport function, no further architectural or cultural details are reliably documented in available sources.
