Ojiya, Niigata (April 19th)


JR Ojiya Station.

This morning we left Yoshida Station for Tsubame Sanjou Station, and then took the Shinkansen to Nagaoka. From there we took local train to Ojiya. Why did we do there? Because I wanted to find some yellow violets before we were back home. We stayed there only for a couple of hours, but we found lots of the yellow violets.


Viola brevistipulata (Ooba-ki-sumire).
