It's no secret that spending an hour or two surrounded by greenery can enhance your energy levels. If wandering around town has worn you out, Hakusan Park is a perfect spot to rest and recharge your batteries.
Hakusan Park is free to enter, so you can have a great day out in Chuo Ward without reaching for your wallet. Once you've finished at this recreation and green space, have a look at some of the area's other popular spots. Niigata City Performing Arts Center, Marinepia Nihonkai and Niigata Prefectural Civic Centre are a hit with tourists.
