From the moment we where picked up from the train station ( Echigo Yuzawa ) we entered a Ryoken that really went out of its way to accommodate you, even down to a supermarket stop on route for supplies. …

I went to Niigata because I wanted to get some relief from the heat and cool off. I went to Minami Uonuma thinking it was a place with delicious rice. It's hard to find where to enter from the main road, but the navigation will show you the way, so it's okay! This is a true hidden inn. It was raining that day and the scenery was disappointing, but thanks to the staff we were able to have a great time. The sweetfish boiled in Arima is something you won't find anywhere else, and the taste of the porridge is the result of years of research. .It was exquisite. Breakfast was also very delicious. When you take a bath in the open-air bath, you can put an umbrella over your head and drink alcohol, so it's a bath that you'll want to stay in forever. The quality of the amenities is perfect. Thank you for recommending souvenirs.This is also a ryokan that I would definitely like to visit.

This inn is limited to 3 groups per day. There is also a private open-air bath, and dinner is like French cuisine, where you can relax and enjoy delicious drinks 🍶In the morning, we had a small selection of homemade side dishes to enjoy Koshihikari from Uonuma, rice cooked in an earthenware pot...and the miso soup with free refills was exquisite.There are free drinks in the refrigerator in the room, you can bring them into the open-air bath, you can smoke cigarettes in the open-air bath, and you can enjoy the open-air bath for an hour.Experience a special feeling that is different from usual ❤️

We were able to communicate well through the translator. I needed a pick-up from Echigo-Yuzawa Station, so I inquired through the Line account on the website 3 days before my stay and set up a time.All meals and drinks were satisfactory, and since there are three rooms, you can use the open-air bath comfortably. (You can designate multiple slots for entry times upon check-in.)It seems difficult to go to a restaurant or do any other activities near the accommodation. A place to relax inside!

It was an inn full of hospitality.The rice was delicious and the rice was great.I had the whole sweetfish, and the wild boar meat was soft and delicious without any odor.We could have eaten in the room next to the hearth, but since we were alone, we declined. I definitely want to try it next time.I will definitely use it again when I travel to Niigata.
