Places of along JR east- Nagano, Niigata area

Hi for dec trip any recommended Places of along JR east line (Nagano, Niigata area)? was considering the get the JR east pass for the line.thanks

Usually, you need to pick up your interesting places at first. Then, try to find convenient services for those. In December, it could snow in the Japan Sea side, while it would be dry and sunny at the Pacific Ocean side.
