Another German Visitor at Prefecture Niigata – about 150 years ago.

Arthur Richard Weber (1841-1920) – originally from Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) – lived as a merchant in Japan between 1863 and 1876. When he returned to Germany he authored a book called ‚Kontorrock und Konsulatsmütze‘ about his time in Japan. I highly enjoy reading this book as it also gives an insight of the German language spoken at that time.

Nagaoka Castle and Yukyuzan Park.

Unfortunately, Nagaoka castle was destroyed in 1868. It was located in the area of the central train station. But if you want to visit a castle-like building you can go to Yukyuzan park where they erected a modern building in a form of a castle. It contains a museum.
In den Burgen gibt es die Möglichkeit, sich einen Stempel einzutragen. Gesagt, getan.
