I visited this hot spring for 2 nights because it looked like it was said to be good for back pain on a similar site...Is it the best for relaxing?I think it takes about 20 minutes by car to Mt. Tanigawadake.It's about 30 minutes to Dragondora in Niigata, so I think it's a great place to go leisurely during the autumn foliage season, but the scenery isn't great.

I don't know what it is...I felt like time was passing slowly.Thank you for staying with us for one night.The bath is lukewarm and feels good even after a long bath, and you can relax while listening to the sound of the river flowing right next to you.At night, there is very little lighting inside the building, but it feels like no other and it's a strange feeling.Women can put on their bathing clothes in the changing room of the indoor bath, go outside through the door next to the indoor bath entrance, and go to the mixed open-air bath.There is no changing room for women in the open-air mixed bathing area.Contrary to the nostalgic appearance of the inn, the room was clean and we had no problems.Both Waimoba and Rakuten were close, but they were fine.The food wasn't fancy, but it was delicious.The stars in the night sky viewed from the open air were beautiful.It felt good to be able to relax.I would like to have you come again.

Just the right lukewarm hot spring. It's a nice hot spring that you can stay in for hours. Although it is a mixed open-air bath, bathing clothes are available for rent, so even women can use it with confidence.

The hot water is very good and it is a secret hot spring. It's a hot spring source, so it can be a little lukewarm in the winter, but many people come from far away to stay here for several nights.
