Myoko in Niigata Prefecture is a highly popular tourist destination among both foreigners and Japanese. Therefore, depending on the season, it can be extremely crowded, making it difficult to board your preferred mode of transportation or even increasing the risk of accidents.

Similarly, during Chinese New Year (late January to early February), a major holiday for Chinese travelers, large crowds are also expected.
