[2025 Itoigawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Jade Coast (Updated May)

#0yentrip When I visited Jade Coast in winter, the wind was cold, sometimes blowing strongly and chilling me to the core. Even though I was dressed warmly, I felt the cold gradually growing. The waves were high, crashing on the shore and stirring up the rocks, making a loud "clacking" sound, and I felt a different power from the calmness of summer. I walked a little in search of jade, but the shore was dangerously rough, so I couldn't look for long. Still, the scenery of the rough winter sea and countless rocks was very impressive. I wasn't able to find any jade, but it was a good memory and I would like to try again if I have the chance!

#Spring0yentrip Itoigawa, where the Hokuriku Shinkansen station is located, is a quiet town surrounded by the Sea of ​​Japan and mountains, where you can feel the dynamism of nature. As soon as I got off the station, I could see the expanse of the Sea of ​​Japan and the rugged rock coastline. The sea breeze felt nice, so I walked along the sea for a while. In the town, there is the Fossa Magna Museum, where the exhibits on the formation of the Japanese archipelago and minerals were surprisingly authentic, and the stories about jade were also interesting. In front of the station, there were benches and monuments with a jade motif, and the whole town had an atmosphere of a "geological town." Rather than a tourist destination, it had a tranquility that blended into local life, which was somehow comfortable. It was a simple and powerful town that is typical of the Sea of ​​Japan side.

He sighed and squatted down, only to catch a glimpse of a green light flashing among the gravel. "It's a jadeite stone! Legend has it that whoever picks it up will..." Before she finished her words, she had already snatched the stone and looked at it in the sun: "It will make you rich! Help me find a few more!" He smiled bitterly and searched, suddenly holding up a heart-shaped stone: "What about this? Can it be exchanged for my wife's smile?" She was stunned, the salty sea breeze mixed with the heartbeat when she confessed her love many years ago. When he came to his senses, he had already slipped away and turned over a rock. *Professional tools: You can rent a mirror and a collecting shovel at the visitor center.

I went to #Hisui Coast in #Itoigawa City, #Niigata Prefecture ((((((っ･ω･)っ It's not a sandy beach, but a wide expanse of rocks, and you can sometimes find jade among them ∑(⸝⸝⸝º ᵜ º⸝⸝⸝)!! This time, I was going on a tour, so I didn't have much time, so I walked around a bit without looking for jade and then left. ｡･*･:≡(　ε¦) The weather was nice, and the coastline was beautiful (ˊo̴̶̷̤ ̫ o̴̶̷̤ˋ)♡ As a landlocked resident, just seeing the ocean gets me excited ＼(｀*▽*´)／ Touring along the coastline is also great ( ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ) #Traveling with Me #Shinobi-chan

There are many beautiful stones. Apparently it's easier to find jade the day after the waves are rough.
