Seiro, Town district in Kitakanbara, Japan

Seiro occupies 37.58 square kilometers between Niigata and Shibata cities, featuring a small coastline along the Sea of Japan.

The region transformed from a fishing village into an administrative entity during the Meiji period, receiving formal establishment on April 1, 1889.

Local festivals throughout the year maintain Japanese traditions while rice cultivation shapes the community identity through generations of agricultural practices.

The town contains three elementary schools, one middle school, and connects to major routes through the Nihonkai-Tohoku Expressway and National Routes 7 and 113.

The Higashi-Niigata Thermal Power Station operates as a major industrial facility, marking a shift from traditional fishing to modern energy production.
