Tsugawa, formerly a town in its own right but now part of the larger entity Aga City, lies along the banks of the Agano River some 60k east of Niigata City. The first train to Aizu Wakamatsu, with service to Tsugawa, departs not from Niigata but from Niitsu, 25k distant in the direction of Tsugawa. It leaves Niitsu at an unseasonably early 6:06A.M. Don and I knew a long day awaited us (though just how long we never imagined), so we grudgingly agreed to forgo several hours of Sunday slumber to cycle to Niitsu in time to catch the 6:06.
