[Niigata] Panoramic views of Niigata! Free observation deck "Befco Bakauke Observation Deck"

This eye-catching building in Niigata stands a whopping 125 meters above ground. The full-length windows offer a panoramic view of the city, and on a clear day, you can even see Sado Island and Awashima Island, making it a truly satisfying experience that goes beyond the free admission.

The same floor, the 31st, also houses a restaurant and souvenir shop.

In addition to baka-uke, they stock a wide variety of Niigata specialties.

The "Baka-uke Soft Serve" (¥600) available here is a luxurious treat consisting of baka-uke skewered into soft serve ice cream, alternating between sweet and salty flavors.

While you can walk from the station, we recommend renting a bicycle, as it's a quick and easy way to get there.
