A Japanese-style ryokan on a hill in Echigo Yuzawa for a hot spring-filled stay.

Last update :

This Japanese-style ryokan sits on a hill in Echigo Yuzawa Onsen, Niigata Prefecture, and is known for its wide variety of bathing facilities, including open-air baths and a cave bath. It is conveniently located Approx. 5 minutes by car from the Yuzawa IC on the Kan-Etsu Expressway and a 7-minute walk from JR Echigo-Yuzawa Station, making it easy to enjoy Echigo Yuzawa’s famous hot springs.

The hotel’s hot spring facilities include Sora no Yu, Yama no Yu, and Sato no Yu. Sora no Yu is a panoramic large public bath on the top floor with views of the Tanigawa Mountain Range. In addition to scenic open-air baths, Yama no Yu features 10 different baths, including a cave bath and stone bath. Sato no Yu also has 11 baths, and since the men’s and women’s baths switch by time slot, it is possible to enjoy every bath during a one-night stay.

Dinner features a Japanese kaiseki course made with carefully selected ingredients from Niigata. Luxurious dishes include Niigata A5 wagyu, Nakanoshima beef, and Uonuma soft-shelled turtle.
