#Myoko Tsubame OnsenAt #TsubameHighlandLodge, I picked Nemagari bamboo and soaked in the hot spring♨️.The cold spring water drawn from the source of Golden Hot Spring feels great🙆Enjoy Ayu Masamune with Nemagari bamboo that you picked yourself.The freshly caught fish grilled courtesy of the inn is absolutely delicious 🤤 Highly recommended.The harmony of deep greenery, wind, and chirping birds is the best soothing music of nature🎵.You might call this a luxury.

2024.3.25A solitary inn deep in the mountains.The interior has the feel of a lodge with an atmosphere, and the beautiful lobby is decorated with historical items from the founder. The room was a corner room and I was able to relax while looking at the best view. The hot spring has an indoor bath and an outdoor bath (not open-air), and the outdoor bath is not heated and is about 14℃. The water hot spring after bathing is the best.Of course, it didn't have the same service as a hotel, but the owner was friendly and it was a good enough place to experience an extraordinary experience.

The building and atmosphere are outstanding.The customer service is from a traditional owner.It's a pain to have to keep trying to get the mount.I understand because it's been done for a long time, but it doesn't match the times.There was no greeting in the morning, and the food was meager.The buildings and scenery were nice. (Not suitable for people who are sensitive to sewage smells)The bath was so hot that I could only use the lower half of my body in the indoor bath. The outdoor bath was cold spring water.As for bathing, I feel like once I get used to it, I feel comfortable taking a bath.I think this is not suitable for people who don't like hot baths.I don't think I'll ever come again.

It was a wonderful inn where there was nothing around and made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city.If you live in an area with heavy snowfall and don't have snow removal, it may be difficult to drive a 2WD vehicle even with a chain.I warmed up in the hot indoor bath and then took a cold bath in the outdoor bath several times, which made my body feel warm, but right after I checked in, the indoor bath was so hot that I couldn't take a bath and only took a shower. The next morning it felt better and I was fine.The snowy view from the room was fantastic, but it was cold even with the heating on, probably because it was a large room.Also, the food wasn't that good considering it's a Niigata hotel, but I'm grateful to have a warm meal.

This is an unexplored area with a strong taste (^^) I stayed for 2 nights at the end of November, and it had snowed all day a few days before, so I was able to see the snowy scenery. I was able to see the full moon from my room in a wonderful location under the moonlight without being on the street. The quality of the hot spring water was also very good, warming up in the indoor bath (41℃) and waking up in the outdoor bath (20℃). I really recommend it for those who want to relax in their room without doing anything, take a bath, go trekking, and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life 🥸

After skiing at the Seki Onsen ski resort below, I was looking for a place where I could take a day trip and stumbled upon it by chance.The person who seems to be the owner is different from normal hot springs, but is it okay? He asked me worriedly, but I went in without worrying.I was given a lecture on how to enter the hot springs and cold springs alternately, so I was able to enjoy the baths without any problems. At first you will be stunned by the coldness of the cold spring, but as you repeat it two or three times, you will get used to it and it will start to feel good. By the time I got up, my toes were warm and I was very satisfied even though I tend to get cold. I'm thinking of coming back to stay the night next time.
