There is few stores and restaurants near this station, looks like very poor.

Small but nice place

Convenience station

Nice photos Nice picture

(Translated by Google) I went to the station which serves as the gateway to the blacksmith towns of Tsubame and Sanjo. There were a lot of interesting things in the exhibition space just past the Shinkansen ticket gates. There seemed to be a lot of Shinkansen passengers getting on and off. I wonder if there are quite a few industrial companies here? I wanted to visit Yahiko Shrine⛩️. (Original) 鍛冶のまち　燕市と三条市の玄関口の駅に行きました。 新幹線改札を抜けた展示スペースには色々興味深いものがありました。 新幹線の乗降客が多い印象。産業的に企業が結構あるのかな？ 弥彦神社⛩️に行ってみたかったです。

Tools, steel, and craftsmanship — sparks of light beneath snow. This town forges beauty from metal and patience. Even the station feels like a workshop’s heart. Tourist Tip: Visit Industrial Materials Museum and Tsubame’s artisan cutlery shops. Great place to buy hand-made knives and tableware.

(Translated by Google) We chose JR Niigata Station for this quick stop because the main purpose of our trip was to visit Yahiko Shrine, a crucial transportation hub before transferring to JR Yahiko Station. Once you arrive at the station, you can choose to go directly from the third-level platform downstairs to the second-level Yahiko Line, or you can do as we did and enjoy a meal nearby before returning to catch the train. Remember what the first building you pass before heading to the shrine is? The answer is the Great Torii. We think the meticulously designed atmosphere within the station is a brilliant design. This sense of ritual creates a seamless transition from arriving at JR Yahiko Station and creates a smooth flow of scenery. Arriving on the second floor, your visual path will be drawn to the vermilion torii gate with the black torii inscribed with "Echigo Ichinomiya." You'll also notice a nearby sign with the bold, enlarged "Nihon Ichi-no-Otorii." Don't doubt this is the entrance: simply walk through this torii gate and you'll reach the Yahiko Line platform within two minutes. If you'd like to exit the station first, just remember whether you're heading from the Tsubame Exit or the Sanjo Exit on the first floor. For example, our restaurant reservation was for Tsubamesanjo Bit Tsubame Sanjo Honten, so we exited the Tsubame Exit and headed towards the Tsubame Sanjo Chiba Industrial Promotion Center, a 7-8 minute walk. After a long journey, we finally arrived at JR Tsubame Sanjo Station and prepared to embark on our first important stop of the day: Tsubamesanjo Bit Tsubame Sanjo Honten. (Original) 之所以選擇快閃「JR新潟駅」是因為此行主要目的為前往「弥彦神社」參拜，而這裡便是轉乘「JR弥彦駅」之前非常重要交通樞紐。 到站後，你可以選擇直接由三階月台下樓到二階「弥彦線」，也可以和我們一樣先到附近享用美食，再回來乘坐列車。 還記得前往神社前第一個會先經過的建築是什麼嗎?答案就是「大鳥居」。 沒錯，站內所精心設計的情境我們認為一個很棒的規劃，因為有這樣鋪陳的儀式感，讓抵達「JR弥彦駅」 的你才不會感到違和，並且有著場景流暢的連慣性。 來到二階，當你的視覺動線被朱紅色的「鳥居」與上面的黑色牌坊寫著「越後一宮」所吸引，同時也目測到一旁立牌與上面粗體放大所寫的「日本一の大鳥居」，不要懷疑就是由這裡進入，直接由此「鳥居」穿越2分鐘內一定抵達「弥彦線」月台。 倘若你希望先出站外訪，只需先記好是由一階的「燕口」還是「三條口」方向即可 ，例如:我們這次所預約的餐廳是「Tsubamesanjo Bit 燕三条本店」，就是由「燕口」出站前往「 燕三条地場産業振興センター」 徒步大約7-8分鐘可以抵達。 在長途跋涉之後我們終於抵達「JR燕三条駅」，並準備展開今天的第一個重要行程「Tsubamesanjo Bit 燕三条本店」。

(Translated by Google) It is close to JR Kita-Sanjo Station and has a parking space. Admission is free. It seems that it was built in 1935 as a martial arts hall, and the center of the building was a large space. As soon as I entered the museum, I noticed the large exhibition area, so I started touring from there, but when I went to the passageway to the right of the entrance, I saw that the exhibits seemed to follow the flow of time from the Jomon period onwards. (Original) JR北三条駅に近くて、駐車スペースもあります。入館は無料です。1935年に武道館して建設されたようで、建物の中心は広い空間となっていました。入館してすぐ広い展示エリアに目が行ったので、こちらから見学しましたが、入口すぐの右側の通路へと見学すると、縄文時代から時代の流れに沿って展示されているようでした。

(Translated by Google) It is located in the middle of Sanjo city area. The building itself is designated as a tangible cultural property, and admission is free. The exhibits are rich in content and I am satisfied. The only drawback is that to get to this point, you have to pass through the city, which is complicated, narrow, and has many one-way streets🚙. (Original) 三条市街地の、ど真ん中にあります。建物自体も有形文化財に指定されていて、入館料も無料。展示内容も豊富で申し分ありませんが。ここまで至るには、入り組んだ、狭い、片側通行の多い市街地を通らなければならないのが、唯一の難点ですね🚙。

(Translated by Google) When I went into the bathroom, the floor was slanted and it felt really strange (lol) (Original) トイレに入ったら床が傾斜していて不思議な感覚だった(笑)

(Translated by Google) Renovated and now looks a little better The explanation of Sannozan Tumulus was good. There was an error on the bulletin board, so I informed the person in charge. (Original) リニューアルして若干見やすくなりました 三王山古墳の解説が良かったです 掲示物に誤りがあったので係の方に伝えておきました

(Translated by Google) I inquired about some very old historical documents. Despite not knowing whether they were in stock or not, you kindly looked into it for me. I would also like to thank you for promptly sending me the documents you found! (Original) かなり昔の史料について問い合わせをしました。 所蔵の有無も不明な中にもかかわらず、親切にに調べていただきました。 また、見つけていただいた史料をすぐにご送付くださり、ありがとうございました！

(Translated by Google) The history of Sanjo City is clearly displayed in order, starting from the Jomon period. (Original) 三条市の歴史が縄文時代から始まる順路で分かりやすく展示されています

Awesome garden to visit and chill.

Not my favorite Roadside station. Little selection of produce. The plants they sell are high priced.

(Translated by Google) Visited for the Hokuriku Roadside Station Stamp Rally. Niigata No. 39 Garden Village Honai. A roadside station where stamps can be stamped 24 hours a day. The stamp is located on the right side as you enter the building, to the right of the restroom entrance. Niigata is up to number 42, so it was a fairly new roadside station, so it was very clean and gave me a good impression. The restrooms were also clean. (Original) 北陸道の駅スタンプラリーのために訪問。 新潟39番 庭園の郷 保内。 24時間押印可能な道の駅。 スタンプは建物入ってすぐ右側、お手洗いの入り口の右側に設置されています。 新潟が42番までなので、かなり新しい方の道の駅ということもあってか綺麗で好印象でした。 お手洗いも綺麗でした。

(Translated by Google) As its name suggests, Garden Village is a roadside station surrounded by lush greenery. There is a cafe and a kids' space, and a pasta and pizza restaurant in the back. Dogs are allowed, and there were many people there with their dogs. The parking lot is across the road. I was driving slowly as there were pedestrians in the parking lot, so I was surprised when a minivan passed me at incredible speed, but as it had left the parking lot and parked on the side of the road in front of the entrance to unload its luggage, it looked like a contractor delivering something to the roadside station. I also heard people swearing loudly as I passed by, which made me feel bad, but it's not the roadside station's fault...in fact, all the staff at the roadside station were very nice. (Original) 庭園の郷の名前の通り緑豊かな道の駅です。 カフェやキッズスペースがあったり奥にはパスタのピザのレストランもありました。 犬連れオッケーでたくさんの犬連れさんいました。 駐車場が道路を挟んだ向かいにあります。 駐車場内に歩行者がいたためゆっくり走行していたら凄い勢いで追い抜く軽バンがいてビックリしたんですが駐車場出て入り口前に路駐して荷物下ろしてたんで道の駅に何かを納品してる業者さんのようでした。 大声で悪態ついてるのも近くを通った際聞こえてきて何とも気分は良くなかったですが道の駅が悪いわけではないので…実際道の駅のスタッフさんはみんな感じの良い方ばかりでした。

(Translated by Google) There was a bread festival going on, so I dropped in. Many famous bakeries from around the prefecture had set up stalls. The watermelon bread was quite expensive at 1,300 yen per loaf, but I bought it as a souvenir. Freshly picked vegetables were for sale. There were lots of ornamental plants, and when I was looking for herbs I found rosemary and asked if they had any other types, and they kindly looked for them for me. They also sold seeds and had gardening tools, so it's a great place for people who like to garden at home. (Original) パンフェスがやってたので、寄ってみました。 県内の有名所のパン屋さんが沢山出店してました。 スイカパンは1斤1300円で良いお値段しましたが、お土産にしました。 採れたて野菜が販売されてました。 観葉植物が沢山置いてあって、ハーブを探してた所ローズマリーがあり他の種類があるか聞いた所親切に探して頂きました。 種も販売してたり、園芸用の道具も置いてあって家庭菜園が好きな人は良い場所です。

(Translated by Google) Visited with the 3rd Gathering Working Cars. I don't think I'll use it again. On external websites, they promote the park with a photo of a police car on full display, but in reality, the police car only comes on one of the three days. On-site, they have a poster-sized image of all the dates and the vehicles on display. Despite this, for some reason they don't link it to external websites. It's a deliberate attempt to attract customers with a service that doesn't exist. They have a kids' space, so I can see their intention to attract parents and children, but the multi-purpose toilet doesn't even have a child's toilet seat. I'm sure they're just using the children for business purposes. It's also rare in this day and age to see an individual selling handmade items that imitate Studio Ghibli's Totoro. I wonder if they are selling them with proper permission. (Original) 第3回あつまれはたらくクルマで訪問。2度と利用しないと思います。 外部サイトではパトカーの写真を全面にだしてPRしてますが、実際にはパトカーが来るのは3日程のうち1日のみです。 現地では、すべての日程と展示車両が一枚ものになったポスターサイズの画像が用意されています。にも関わらず、それを外部サイトになぜか連携しないわけです。確信犯として、存在しないサービスで客を呼び込む出口です。 キッズスペースを用意していて親子を呼びたい魂胆は見えますが、多目的トイレに子供用便座すらないです。子供は商売に利用しているだけでしょうね。 また一個人のハンドメイド品でスタジオジブリのトトロを模したアイテムが平気で売られてるのも、このご時世では著作権の観点で珍しいですね。ちゃんと許可をとって販売されているのか気になりますね。

(Translated by Google) As a roadside station, it's really great because locally produced products are affordable and easier on the wallet than other roadside stations. The flower and gardening goods selection is comparable to that of a small hardware store. The restrooms are spacious and clean, which is nice. I think it's a really nice, compact facility. One thing I'm concerned about is that it would be better if there were traffic lights to make it difficult to get onto Route 403 from the station (especially towards Sanjo City). Also, locally grown vegetables are cheaper than at other roadside stations, and the cafe is good. However, considering that the overwhelming majority of visitors are elderly, they would probably prefer udon and ramen over pizza and bread. Considering that this is the case at Tagami Roadside Station and Yahiko Roadside Station, it would be better if Honai also offered products tailored to their customers. I feel there's a slight disconnect with the visitors. What I find disappointing is that, although this facility should be the center of Honai horticulture, it seems like more than half of the visitors never leave the facility. The garden tree exhibits are beautiful, but I still think there's little demand for them. Wouldn't it be better to focus on seasonal flowers like the English Garden in Mitsuke? I think it would be a great transformation if it were a garden that people would enjoy strolling through. (Original) 道の駅としては地元産のモノは買いやすい価格で他の道の駅より財布に優しいので本当に良いです。お花や園芸的な物販は小さいホームセンター並みのグッズの品揃え。 トイレも広く清潔的でいい。 こじんまりとしてまとまりは本当にいい施設だと思う。 気になる所は、施設から403に出にくく（特に三条市側へ）信号機があると良いと思う。 後、地元産の野菜などは他の道の駅よりも安いし、カフェも良い。ただ、来客的には圧倒的に高齢者が多い事を考えるとピザやパンよりも、「うどんやラーメン」が好まれるはずで、田上の道の駅や弥彦ではそれを実践してる事を考えると保内でも来客にあったモノの提供が望ましいところ。 来客とのズレを多少感じる。 僕が残念に思うのは、この施設自体は保内園芸の中心になるべき施設なのですが、来客の半分以上は施設の外へ出ないように感じる。庭木の展示は観れば素敵だと分かるのだが、やはり絶対需要は少ないと思う。見附のイングリッシュガーデンの様な季節毎の花を中心にした内容にしたら良いのでは無いか？　散策する事が楽しみな庭園にすると大化けすると思います。

(Translated by Google) Loved for a long time❗️ We also have commuter passes, so regulars use them. The staff are also kind. It is used by people of various generations. There are also breaks during the summer when there are many people. It also celebrated its 50th anniversary in February 2023. (Original) 長い間、愛されています❗️ 定期券もあるので常連さんは これで利用してます。 スタッフの方も親切です。いろいろな世代の人が利用しています。夏の人が多い時期は、休憩もあります。 また23年2月に50周年を迎えたそうです。

(Translated by Google) 8/16 First time swimming. The clientele seemed to be mostly families. Occasionally, swimmers came to swim in their practice swimsuits. The shower room was only near the entrance, so you could only shower while wearing your swimsuit. To get into the locker room, you needed two 10-yen coins. The building was old, but well-maintained. ☺️ (Original) 8/16 はじめて 泳ぎに 客層は家族連れが多い印象 たまに練習用水着を着たスイマーさん 泳ぎにくるそうで シャワールームは出入口付近のみで 水着を着た状態しか 浴びれない ロッカールームは10円玉 2枚必要 建物は旧いけど しっかりと整備されてました☺️

(Translated by Google) Buy an admission ticket from the ticket vending machine and enter. There is a 20 yen fee to use the lockers in the changing room, but if you close the locker and take out the key, the money will fall into the collection box, so you will have to pay 20 yen if you forget something and lock it again. It would have been better if there was a locker where you would get money back every time you use it. All the staff members were kind. (Original) 入場券を券売機で買って入ります。 更衣室のロッカーは使用料20円ですが、閉めて鍵を抜くとお金は収受箱の中へ落ちる為、忘れ物して再度鍵をかける時に20円必要です。１回毎にお金をバックするロッカーだったらよかったのに。 職員さんは皆さん、親切な方ばかりでした。

(Translated by Google) I swim a lot and use it often during summer vacation. thank you. (Original) 沢山泳いで夏休みになるとよく利用しています。 ありがとうございます。

(Translated by Google) I use it with my children. It's reasonably priced at 400 yen for adults. Sometimes there are free days for junior high school students and younger. Don't forget you need a swimming cap. If you forget, you can purchase it at the front desk. A sauna is also available. If you are bringing preschool children, please be sure to do so with your children! ! It is insane for adults only to go swimming. Please follow the rules when using it. Because the building is so old, you'll get so sweaty in the summer viewing seats that you'll feel like it's a punishment game. And the thing I don't understand the most is that there is no dehydrator. I would like to have a dehydrator installed. (Original) 子供たちと利用しております。 大人400円とお手頃価格です。たまに、中学生以下無料日があります。水泳帽子必要ですので忘れずに。忘れてもフロントで購入出来ます。サウナも完備されてます。 未就学児連れの方は必ずお子様と行動をしてください！！大人だけ、泳ぎに行くのは非常識です。ルールを守って利用して下さい。建物が古い分、夏の観覧席は罰ゲームなのかと思うくらい汗だくになります。そして、1番理解出来ないのが脱水機がないことです。脱水機置いて欲しいです。

(Translated by Google) Because I have some small tattoos on my body, I have never been able to muster up the courage to go to an ordinary swimming pool. With the encouragement of my Japanese friends, I tried it for the first time yesterday after using suitable clothing to cover it up. It was very comfortable. .There are few people and the water is good. The price is also very cheap. I will probably go there more often in the future. (Original) 因为自己身上有点不大不小的纹身,对于普通的游泳池一直没能鼓起勇气去.在日本朋友的鼓励下,使用合适的服装进行了遮挡以后,昨天第一次去试了下.非常舒服.人少,水好.价格还非常便宜,以后应该会经常去了.

(Translated by Google) A well-established pool facility is located next to Niigata Prefectural Technical High School, which has participated in summer Koshien only once in the prefectural central region (apparently it has nothing to do with the high school, but the pool is often used for classes...?). It has been well-maintained since it was old, and I didn't feel any particular inconvenience or dissatisfaction with paying the quota (it's similar to the Uozu public pool that I visited previously (separate article)). If I have a chance someday in the summer, I would like to visit the outdoor pool with its brightly painted poolside. (Original) 県央地域でただ1度だけ夏の甲子園出場を果たした「県立新潟県央工業高校」の傍にある年季の入ったプール施設(高校とは無関係らしいがプール授業利用くらいは…?)。旧いなりに手入れは行き届いておりノルマ完済に特に不便不満は感じなかった(以前訪れた魚津市民プール(別稿)に似ている)。プールサイドの塗装が色鮮やかな屋外プールにいずれ夏場に機会が出来れば訪れてみたく。

Very pretty and peaceful, colorful.

(Translated by Google) The irises were in full bloom and very beautiful. The park is deep and has many different kinds of irises, which are colorful and worth seeing. The view from the observation deck at the back is also nice. Hydrangeas were also in bloom. (Original) 花菖蒲が見頃でとても綺麗でした。奥行きのある公園で色々な種類の花菖蒲が沢山ありカラフルで見応えあり癒されました。奥の展望台からの眺めも良いです。紫陽花も咲いていました。

(Translated by Google) Iris flowers were starting to bloom in the valleys below the mountains. There are three iris gardens in Niigata Prefecture: Shibata Ayame, Hyoko, and Shirasagi Forest Park. All of them were well-maintained and the irises were magnificent. (Original) 山からの谷間に花菖蒲が咲き始めていました。新潟県の花菖蒲園は新発田あやめ、瓢湖とこのしらさぎ森林公園の3か所。どこも手入れがよく、見事な花菖蒲でした。

(Translated by Google) I visited in late June on a night when the irises were in full bloom and fireflies were dancing. Even though it was a weekday, there were many families enjoying the view. Late at night, we were able to see the beautiful Milky Way. The parking lot is spacious and free, so it doesn't seem like you'll have any trouble finding a spot. It was my first visit, but I was very satisfied. I think this is all because the park is well-maintained. I think families can have a fun time here without worry. (Original) 6月下旬、花菖蒲が咲き誇り蛍が舞う夜に訪れました。平日でしたがたくさんの家族がその眺めを楽しんでいました。深夜になると綺麗な天の川も見ることが出来ました。広くて無料の駐車場。停めるのに困ることは無さそうです。初めての訪問でしたが、とても満足出来ました。それもこれも手の行き届き整備された公園だからでしょう。 家族ずれも安心して楽しい時間を過ごせると思います。

(Translated by Google) Visited on June 21, 2015. The irises were about 60-70% in bloom. The garden has depth, making it perfect for a light stroll. (Original) R7年6月21日訪問、花菖蒲は六〜七分咲きと言った感じ。園内は奥行きがあって軽く散策するのにちょうど良い。

(Translated by Google) June 15, 2025 Cloudy and rainy I visited during the Iris Festival. Maybe it was too early. The irises were not in full bloom, only a few were in bloom. (Original) 2025年6月15日曇り雨 菖蒲祭りの期間中に伺いました。 まだ早かったのかな。満開では無く一部のみ咲いてました。

(Translated by Google) 2025.06.25 (Wed) ☁ It's been a while since I last visited Shirasagi Forest Park. This is a recommended place for iris season. 2021.06.21 (Mon) ☀️ The irises are in full bloom now. They'll be in full bloom soon. They've bloomed beautifully again this year. Due to COVID-19, the iris garden is one-way. 2018.06.21 The irises were blooming beautifully🌸Shirasagi Forest Park has a well-maintained promenade, so you can take a leisurely stroll on weekdays. After your stroll, we recommend a day trip to the hot springs at the neighboring Shirasagi-so 🎵 (Original) 2025.06.25(水)　☁ 久しぶりのしらさぎ森林公園。あやめの季節はここがオススメです。 2021.06.21 (月)　☀️ あやめ(花菖蒲)が見頃です。もう少しで満開。今年もきれいに咲きました。コロナのため、菖蒲園内は一方通行です。 2018.06.21 あやめ（花菖蒲）が綺麗に咲いていました🌸ここ、しらさぎ森林公園は遊歩道も整備されており、平日はのんびり散策することができます。散策した後は、隣接するしらさぎ荘の♨日帰り温泉がおすすめです🎵

(Translated by Google) Admission is free. It's on the second floor of some building. It seemed like there were only two people in the building, the staff member and me. Mainly on display were archaeological excavations from the Jomon period and tools used in the early Showa period. (Original) 入場料は無料。 何かの建物の2階にある。 この建物に職員の方と私の2人だけしかいない様子だった。 主に縄文時代の考古学的な発掘物と昭和の前期頃に使われていた道具などが展示されていた。

(Translated by Google) I recommended everyone I know to go see it. We should be able to learn about the culture and civilization of the Jomon period, or even the origins of Shimoda-go, Sanjo, the Igarashi River, and the Shinano River basin... I would be very grateful if the curators and staff could accompany visitors with explanations, explanations, highlights, related information, etc., and if they could put up and put up such signs. Thank you for your cooperation.
