I stayed here in the winter. The inside of the building was very clean. As it is a hot spring town, the hot springs were available even at night. There was a garden bath and a cypress bath, each with its own charm. You can also enjoy a leisurely soak in the indoor and outdoor baths, which are both private and 100% natural hot spring. It is a cold place, so I was grateful to be shown to a warm room when I returned after going out at night. Since I was staying overnight, I ate at restaurants and izakayas in the area. It was nice that there were delicious restaurants nearby.

Although it is an inn with a homely atmosphere, the baths are very substantial, with four open-air baths, two indoor baths, a cauldron bath, a sauna, a private bath, and an open-air bath attached to the guest room. The meals are delicious, with local mountain produce from Niigata, seafood directly delivered from the Sea of Japan, and rice cooked with authentic Koshihikari rice.
