📍Former Saito Family Villa

This mansion is located near the center of Niigata city and has a beautiful Japanese garden, so many people come here just to see it, but you can also enjoy Japanese sweets and tea while looking at the garden. This place is known as a mansion, but not many people come here just for the cafe, so it's a hidden gem. The garden and mansion were beautiful, so the tea tasted even better 🍵 I make it a rule to get my money's worth on business trips, so after work I had lunch with a childhood friend who moved to Niigata, walked around the Japanese garden, drank matcha, went to the hot springs, ate delicious food, drank local sake, and took a green car ride home.
