Minamiuonuma, Winter sports destination in Niigata Prefecture, Japan
Located in the mountainous region of Niigata Prefecture, Minamiuonuma extends across valleys and peaks with abundant snowfall throughout winter months.
The municipality gained city status on November 1, 2004, through the consolidation of several towns and villages in the Niigata Prefecture region.
The region produces premium Koshihikari rice, cultivated in the fertile soil of its valleys, following agricultural methods passed down through generations.
The Joetsu Shinkansen train line connects Minamiuonuma to Tokyo, with multiple daily services providing direct access to the ski resorts.
