I went to the restaurant called "Nihonkai" on the 19th floor.
It was gorgeous!!

We ordered prix-fixe menu, price was 3500yen per person not including drink.
Our seat was corner of the building, so night view was really wonderful!

You need to make a reservation for the restaurants on the 19th floor.

Don Quijote

Do you like Don Quijote?

I love Don Quijote, and 100yen Shops!
I go there three times a week!!

Don Quijote in Niigata is good for shopping,
because its aisles are not so narrow compare to them in Tokyo.

And it is located near JR Niigata Station.

You know, 100yen shop and Don Quijote are close each other.
You should go both of them!!
