Niigata
Guests can enjoy dishes made with local ingredients, such as "Murakami beef," fresh fish sourced from Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, and Koshihikari rice "Kousagimai", from Sekikawa Village. Breakfast offers a well-balanced menu, including loin ham from "Onnagawa Ham Factory", overnight dried horse mackerel, soft-boiled eggs, and bracken miso soup. Children's lunches are also available, which is a plus. "Chef's Table," a course meal prepared by a chef who has trained at restaurants in Tokyo and Niigata Prefecture, is limited to one group per day (up to four guests), and reservations are accepted up to three days in advance.
If you are a family with small children or want to enjoy the hot springs without having to bathe in the water, we recommend staying in a room with an open-air bath. Additionally, if you are staying at an inn that has private baths or family baths in addition to the large public bath, you can enjoy a variety of baths without having to worry about other people watching you. If the situation is important to you, there are other options such as a hot spring in the mountains where you can bathe under a sky full of stars, an open-air bath overlooking the ocean, or an inn with a snowy bath. It looks like it will be an unforgettable memory.

花とほたる 湯のさと 雪国
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.
