Echigo Murasugi Onsen Kawakamiya Ryokan in the Murasugi district of Agano City, Niigata Prefecture. Famous for its radium hot springs. This inn is a nice and calm place. Murasugi Onsen is a remote hot spring town.I stayed there during Golden Week (hereinafter referred to as GW). I made my reservation two weeks in advance of Golden Week. It seems that the accommodation fee remains the same even during Golden Week. (This may be a mistake, so please check.) It's cheap at about 16,000 yen per night. The food is good. The room is spacious and clean. There are 6 rooms. There is also a hall where banquets can be held.The people at the inn are kind and will teach you a lot of things, so I think it's safe even for first-timers.Also, the neighborhood is rich in nature, so I think children will be happy there as well. Fireflies can be seen from mid-June to mid-July. Genji fireflies fly in June, and Heike fireflies fly in July. I like the little Heike fireflies. The way the green light flutters around is fantastic.For more details, please ask the host of the inn as they will give you detailed information.Furthermore, there is a facility called Urara no Mori nearby where you can experience various things. You can try making tofu, making bamboo baskets, and making pottery. I made tofu. I made firm tofu. Although it is a 1.5 hour course, it is very interesting as the instructor teaches a lot of things. Tofu is good too. Next time, I want to make a bamboo basket. The cost is 1,000 yen for tofu making, 2,000 yen for a bamboo basket, and 1,500 yen for a pottery experience.Please note that you must call Urara no Mori at least one week in advance to make a reservation, and you cannot walk in to experience the experience.recommendation.

Everything is fine.Although it is a small hot spring inn, it is clean and comfortable.Also, the friendly landlady is also very pleasant.Above all, I have never enjoyed food like this. It would be impossible for an average person to clean up the amount. Of course it was delicious.It's worth coming to the hot springs to enjoy the effects of radium and soaking in the hot water.Will come again.

Both the hot springs and the food were great. The landlady also greeted us with a smile and it was a good trip.It's an old-fashioned inn, so there are some concerns such as the shared bathroom and the sound of rain, but I was more than satisfied.
