Itoigawa is a coastal city located in Niigata Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast. The city is known for its geological significance and was designated as Japan's first UNESCO Global Geopark in 2009.

Itoigawa is historically significant for being the source of jadeite jade, which has been used in Japanese culture for over 5,000 years. The area played a crucial role in jade trade during ancient times, and this heritage is still celebrated today. The city sits along the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line, a major geological feature that divides the Japanese islands.

Beyond its geological importance, Itoigawa features traditional Japanese architecture, local festivals, and a rich cultural heritage that reflects its long history as a trading post and its connection to jade craftsmanship.
