Six Baths, Including an Open-Air Bath With Views of Tsunan’s Scenic Landscape
This Japanese-style inn stands along the gently flowing Shinano-gawa River. Warm hospitality creates an atmosphere reminiscent of returning home. The baths offer views of seasonal scenery, from autumn foliage to winter snowscapes, while the open-air bath provides a setting to soak in the fresh air. Two bathing areas are alternated between men and women in the morning and evening, allowing a one-night stay to include visits to six different tubs. Stretching out while overlooking the landscape of Tsunan offers a restorative pause during the journey.

Guest Room

Guest Rooms Framing Tsunan’s Seasonal Landscape

Guest rooms offer a relaxed setting with views of Tsunan’s natural scenery, where the changing seasons can be appreciated. The recommended room with an open-air bath, "Karin," provides a private experience of the surrounding landscape and its golden-hued waters from the tub.

Popular Handmade “Pressed Flower Art”

Each guest room is named after a flower, and beside each entrance is displayed handmade pressed-flower art created by the inn’s “great-grandmother.” Approximately 140 pieces of this pressed-flower artwork are exhibited throughout the property and are well regarded for their aesthetic appeal.

Spa

“Chikuma no Yu,” Where You Can Enjoy Tsunan’s Nature and the Golden Hot Spring Waters

The two bathing areas, "Chikuma no Yu" and "Shinano no Yu," each feature an indoor bath, an open-air bath, and a private one-person barrel bath with free-flowing hot spring water from the source. The baths are alternated between men and women in the morning and evening, allowing a total of six different tubs to be experienced during a stay.

“Shinano no Yu,” Where You Can Be Healed by the Sound of the River and the Hot Springs

Located on the top floor, the large public bath "Shinano no Yu" offers views of Tsunan’s natural landscape stretching out before it. The golden-hued hot spring water, reminiscent of karin fruit, leaves the skin feeling smooth and provides a soothing bathing experience.

The Private Bath “Hotaru no Yu” Is Also Recommended

For guests seeking a more private bathing experience, the scenic private bath "Hotaru no Yu" is available for a fee. The setting suits couples, spouses, or families wishing to spend unhurried time together in a relaxed atmosphere.

After-Bath Lounge “Sanyaso”

After unwinding in the bath, the post-bathing lounge "Sanyaso" offers a place to rest. While cooling down, the view from the windows provides a calm setting for relaxation.

Cuisine

A Meal Where You Can Savor Tsunan’s Regional Cuisine

Meals feature Echigo mountain and sea cuisine along with Tsunan’s local specialties, with an array of handmade items such as fresh juices, the specialty “Grandmother’s Koi Koku” carp stew, and house-grown Koshihikari rice. The menu changes every two months, highlighting seasonal ingredients.

Enjoy Local Sake From a Renowned Rice-Growing Region

As a member of the "Niigata Local Sake Inn" association, "Yukiguni" serves Niigata’s locally brewed sake to complement its cuisine. The limited-edition "Naebasan," created in collaboration between the Tsunan Ryokan Association and Naeba Brewery, is also available. This junmai daiginjo offers its distinctive ginjo aroma.

Experience Tsunan’s Four Seasons Through Cuisine

The menu changes once every two months to showcase seasonal ingredients from Tsunan, offering a dining experience that reflects the seasons through presentation, flavor, and aroma. Guests traveling with children are served dinner in a private tatami room, providing a relaxed setting for the meal.

Location

“Sky Lanterns” That Illuminate the Night Sky

The "Sky Lantern Launch Experience" releases wishes into the winter night sky. Held approximately 25 minutes by car from the inn, the event includes a complimentary shuttle service. The softly glowing lanterns create an atmospheric scene against the night sky.

“Snowshoe Experience” to Discover History and the Land

Join a "Snowshoe Experience" unique to Tsunan Town in Niigata, where archaeological remains from the Jomon period, said to date back approximately 5,000 years, can be found. Wearing snowshoes, participants hike across landscapes shaped by history and heavy snowfall, with lunch served in a reconstructed pit dwelling.
