		Kanazawa is under 4 hours west of Niigata, and the Joetsu Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Niigata takes under 2 hours, but the connections are few and far apart, so don't choose this route unless you want to stay over in Niigata (and Sado Island).
		Since the construction of the Joetsu Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Niigata, and the advent of hydrofoils out to the island, it is no longer a long day's journey to Sado from Tokyo, and there will likely be many more tourists than before.
		Ryotsu is a good-sized town with plenty of tourist hotels, but it will be much more fun to head out into the countryside and find a nice little inn in more pastoral surroundings.
