I suddenly had a day off, so I booked the same day and found a room with an open-air hot spring bath available at this inn.This is my second time staying in Niigata. The first thing I noticed was the smiling face of the woman who welcomed me. He showed me around the inn, and I was excited when I entered the inn. This is because there are games and candy stores that are similar to the candy stores we used to play in when we were children. And he's an invader. This really captured the hearts of the Showa generation ❤️And what made me happy when I entered the room was that I could ride on the swing while soaking in the footbath. When I come to a hot spring, I prioritize ways to spend time that can only be enjoyed there. (Stay away from your cell phone or TV as much as possible.) Take a footbath while swinging and read a book. This was my first experience and I stayed there until the sun went down. I let my everyday tingling mind wander to the photographic blue frogs and large snails, and then I read a book again. Although it was early July, the weather was refreshingly warm, neither hot nor cold.And then there's dinner, which I'm really looking forward to, and I'm very satisfied with the variety of items lined up. The rice is Koshihikari rice from Minami Uonuma, cooked in a pot right in front of you. This is a hot spring that you can drink, so you can use the hot spring to make your own meals. It's the best white rice. After returning to my room and enjoying the hot springs over and over again, I went upstairs and turned on the light to go to sleep. The grown-up adults couldn't help but exclaim with joy. I will not post a photo of this. I really want you to see it with your own eyes. It's now the place where my husband and I promised to come next time with our grandchildren.

It was very quiet and I was able to relax. The response from all the staff was also wonderful, kind and friendly. There was so much food that I had to leave it behind, so I'm sorry 💦 The rice was so delicious. As expected from rice.

Now, this is truly the best hot spring inn that I have kept a secret even from my close friends until now. My wife told a friend, who got interested, and when the friend went there with his family, they were very satisfied and grateful. In that case, I would like to express my gratitude to the wonderful previous husband, his sons, and the previous wife, who have the motto of providing service that is as good as the previous generation. I'll introduce it to you as if I knew it! Well, please take a look at the homepage. And leave a review! If you like it, let's talk from there (lol)

Even though it's a private room with an open-air bath, it's reasonably priced and you can just soak in the hot springs. Lately, I haven't been able to eat all the meals, so I've been staying without meals, and even if it's a small plan, it's a lot for an elderly person, so I'd be happy if there was a plan where I could eat plenty of delicious rice.
