I have officially crossed the border out of the city limits of Niigata and have entered Seir, a small but highly industrialized town in the Niigata Prefecture with a smaller population, which was at 13,474 back in ‘03.
Shortly after crossing into Seir, I came across this...

Follow that up with ANOTHER DeVille...

That pretty much sums up my trip through Seir. It was certainly more than I expected. Next stop: Shibata City.
